Jake & Dinos Chapman
Jake: 1966, Dinos: 1962
Jake and Dinos Chapman, Turner Prize nominees make iconoclastic sculpture, prints and installations that examine, with searing wit and energy, contemporary politics, religion and morality, the subversive black humour that pervades the Chapman's work is undercut by the craftmanship and painstaking labour evident in their execution; they are expert draftsman, engravers, model makers and wood carvers. Jake and Dinos studied at the Royal College of Art, London, and worked as assistants to Gilbert & George before beginning to collaborate in 1992.
Their work has often attracted controversy, aside from complaints on the grounds of bad taste there were protests in 2003 when the brothers altered a set of Francisco Goya etchings they had purchased by adding oversized ears, rows of fangs, Nazi uniforms and McDonald's-like noses as they murder and cannibalize, a process described by some as defacement.
The Chapmans often reference work by ealier artists. As well as Goya they have also created works referencing Hieronymus Bosch, William Blake and Auguste Rodin.
The brothers Chapman began working as an artistic team in the early '90's, claiming that their partnership was more political then familial; by working together, they said, they could reduce the impact of the individual ego on the work. With a creative process structures through "antagonism and hostility" (as they put it), the sibling demonstrated a flare for the grotesque from day one.
In 2004 many works by Jake and Dinos Chapman, owned by Charles Saatchi, were destroyed in the Momart warehouse fire. The brothers subsequently claimed they intended to recreate most of the works.
