Ok so I'm meant to be doing some research into Jake and Dinos chapman.
I'm very lucky to have a mum who takes me to art shows and events. I used to complain about it as a kid because every town or city or place we went to, mum would be sure to take us to at-least one art gallery of museum. Now I'm an art student I'm very grateful, haha!
Two years ago, mum took me to see the Chapman Bro's 'Hellscapes' in the Serpentine gallery pavillion in Hyde Park. These hellscapes consist of literally thousands of miniature Ronald McDonalds, Nazis, Zombies, Mutants and Mutated Zombie Nazis. These pieces become surreal due to the scale and gory, disgusting extremity taken to comedic levels.
I considered including other photographs of their work but I fancy just showing the photos I took two years ago because I feel a connection to these pieces since I've seen them in person and these pieces are definitely ones you need to experience. A photo doesn't do justice. These hellscapes are huge and highly detailed with many tiny scenes frozen in motion. I'm interested to know how all of the figures were produced. They looks custom and hand painted which must have taken a lot of time and patience. I'm guessing the Chapmans have a team of artists doing this work for them since the brothers are far too busy being controversial.
