The Chapman brothers create a very disturbing and thought provoking aspect to their art. Their sculptures provide a fascinating outlook into an alternate reality, where features such as human disfigurement are shown. Their artwork raises thoughts on politics, religion and morality.
I am particularly interested in incorporating human disfigurement, somewhat similar to that of the Chapman Brothers. (such as the above image). Their use of scarring and breaking off parts of the body adds a sense of unease about the project, which could allude to a monstrous being within the human body.
Their use of mutilated figures is quite similar to my research of The Adamson Collection. Many artists used the same techniques which showed that the human body is vulnerable, like themselves. This was originally suggested to me by Anne, who gave me the idea of incorporating a similar strategy into my own work.
