Jake and Dinos Chapman, creators of "Zygotic acceleration, biogenetic, de-sublimated libidinal model (enlarged x 1000)" were astonishingly overlooked during the Brooklyn Art Museum fiasco of 1999, but they've been making waves in Britain for years.
The brothers Chapman began working as an artistic team in the early '90s, claiming that their partnership was more political than familial; by working together, they said, they could reduce the impact of the individual ego on the work.
Both Jake and Dinos see their work as humorous rather than offensive, and they take their success in the finicky world of art with a grain of salt.

The Chapman brothers have been a collaborative team since the early 90s and were included in 'Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection' at the Royal Academy in 1997.
The exhibition caused some controversy and the Chapmans gained particular notoriety in the public's imagination for their genetically - and genitally - modified child mannequins: fiberglass dummies fused together and given penises and anuses in place of noses and mouths.
In treading such a fine line between humor and horror, obscenity and odd beauty, the Chapman brothers are going some way to reaching their stated aim of establishing a cultural value of nil.

Jake, 36, and Dinos, 41, take great pains to deflect questions as to who does what in their artistic endeavours, so perhaps in the instance of this award binary recognition is irrelevant.

You may think the Chapman Brothers produce pretentious, adolescent toss, or you may have seen something imaginative in their Hell.
Their latest wheeze is to exhibit the Chapman Family Collection, a unique gathering of "rare ethnographic and reliquary fetish objects" that the Chapman family has accumulated over the years.
This is the kind of art the Turner prize ought to be showing - it would create a row not about the tedious issue of conceptual art good or bad, but about colonialism, capitalism, racism, the responsibilities of art and the evil of banality.

 A worthless attack on Goya The Rape of Creativity by Jake and Dinos Chapman
When the Chapmans mock those who saw in their work an attack on globalisation, it is not from the standpoint of recognising the progressive developments that underlay this process but of bowing before the power of capitalist corporatism.
The Chapman brothers purchased a 1937 Spanish edition of the prints, which in itself is of some political significance as it was produced to highlight the barbarism of Spanish fascism.

Jake and Dinos Chapman are influential British artists who, along with some of their contemporaries, came to the attention of American audiences when they appeared in the exhibition Sensation, which showed works from the Saatchi collection at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999-2000.
The Chapman brothers' disturbing contributions to that exhibition were sculptures of androgynous adolescents, whose in-your-face sexuality tested the mores of museum goers.
Jake Chapman defined their sense of the meaning of "rectified" as being the same as when the word was used in the movie, "The Shining, when the butler's trying to encourage Jack Nicholson to kill his family, to ‘rectify' the situation."

Not that all the Chapman Brothers' work has the quality of Hell — as with most artists, they have good and bad work — but, although their ideas are unusual, the duo's work should not be simply dismissed as "shocking".

 The Observer | Special reports | Brothers grim
If Tracey Emin is the queen and Damien Hirst the knave, Jake and Dinos Chapman are the two maniacal jokers of the Britart pack.
From their child-adult mannequins adorned with lurid pink genitalia to their most recent riff on American pop culture as ancient ethnographic art (as though Bart Simpson and McDonald's were recently unearthed by Time Team), the Chapmans specialise in deep fl comedy and provocatively deadpan parody.
Both tribute and satire, Ubermensch is a particularly accessible summation of the Chapman style: cringe-making, funny, clever, and revelling in its fantastic bad taste.
