| Mark Kermode interviews Jake and Dinos Chapman, who have been working together since their graduation from the Royal College of Art in London in 1990. The Chapmans make iconoclastic sculpture, prints and installations that examine, with searing wit and energy, contemporary politics, religion and morality. They first received critical acclaim in 1991 for a diorama sculpture entitled 'Disasters of War' created out of remodelled plastic figurines enacting scenes from Goya's 'Disasters of War' etchings. Their most ambitious work, entitled 'Hell' (1999), is an immense tabletop tableau, peopled with over 30,000 remodelled, 2-inch-high figures, many in Nazi uniform and performing egregious acts of cruelty. |

I love there work, because it is entertaining, it is like and advert, poking at us, antagonizing us.

Isn't a bit odd that you can [not] be shocked by zombie movies and then shocked by sculpture of the same thing!

I am surprised that Mark Kermode doesn't get the YBA stuff a little more than that, he has taken a bit of a tabloid approach to it. "left me cold...thought it was dull" What ALL of it? hmm me thinks not my dear friend!
