London, UK. 7 June 2016. Artists Gilbert & George present their new picture, "Beard Aware", seen on display for the first time and which will be part of this year's Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition. The work references beards and barbed wire, and explores the ways in which both serve as devices to protect, disguise, intrigue and repel in the past, present and future.
