Shrubberies no1 and no2

An installation piece by Gilbert and George. I think that the work is, i presume, on four walls and finished with charcoal on paper canvas which gives it a gloomy feel.
It also creates a lot of texture, as they appear to draw very roughly which could be to make the image appear to be moving.
They gain more detail by adding more shading for example.
Also, a lot of their work is constructed by placing several canvas's together. Or possibly one large canvas divided up into sections using thick borders. This maybe to create depth and to break up a large, and other wise plain area.
