Jake and Dinos Chapman


Two brothers that work almost only in collaborations with each other. As conceptual artists they have focused on themes on anatomically and pornographic grotesque, genocide and effects of war. Their work borders on sick comedy and poignant commentary. They have also involved themselves in the writing of books, specifically art criticism and metaphysics, and designing a beer label for Becks. Charles Saatchi brought them into prominence through his promotion of the young artists movement. Most memorable is the 1999 work "Hell" and and miniature sets they and their team produced.
