Jake and Dinos Chapman began their collaborative career in 1988 by enrolling together at the Royal College of Art. From the get-go, they were involved with one of the most famous partnerships, working as assistants to British modern art provocateurs Gilbert & George. Since then, the Chapmans’ artwork has had a strange and disturbing identity of its own. Their fondness for the sexually explicit, the grotesque and the politically sensitive helped catapult them to fame - attracting outrage in the popular press as well as accolades in the art world. Whether creating manikins of children with genitalia for noses, or buying and altering paintings by Adolf Hitler himself, the work is designed to make the viewer stop and stare.
