Jake and Dinos Chapman, are brothers who’ve worked together since they graduated, using deformation to explore issues of contemporary politics, religion and morality. The Chapman brothers have often used plastic models or fibreglass mannequins of people. They are draftsman, engravers, model-makers and wood carvers. They carry out an ‘anatomical and pornographic grotesque’ theme, using black humour. Hell (1999-2000) is an enormous photo in the shape of a swastika with over five thousand miniature Nazi figures acting the roles of victims and executioners in a scene of death and destruction.
