Jake and Dinos Chapman: My Giant Colouring Book
A Hayward Gallery exhibition from the Southbank Centre, London on behalf of Arts Council England
Saturday 16 October – Saturday 13 November 2010
The Chapman brothers first came to prominence as part of the YBA (young British artists) movement of the 1990s. They featured in the Royal Academy’s seminal 1997 exhibition Sensation, showing a sculptural version of Goya’s disasters of war. Returning to Goya’s work in 2003, they caused outrage for painting their own ghoulish imagery over an original set of etchings.
My Giant Colouring Book returns to this method of working, this time appropriating join-the-dot drawings from a children’s picture book. The naïve innocence of the illustrations triggers a wild outpouring of fantastical imagery far removed from the original dot formations. This series of 21 etchings offers a fascinating introduction to the imaginations of two of Britain’s most inventive and subversive artists.
