This British duo were initially known as living sculptures, the suits they ware for these performances became a sort of uniform for them, and they rarely appear in public unless wearing them. It is also unheard of for one of the pair to be seen without the other. The pair are best known for their large scale pictures, brightly coloured, backlit, and overlaid with black grids. The early pictures in were in black and white, with red and yellow touches in later ones. Later they moved to a range of bold colours. Some of the pictures have had attracted media attention because of the shocking imagery.
