"The Sum of All Evil" by Jake and Dino Chapman @ White Cube Gallery, Hong Kong (May 22-Aug 31, 2013)
Currently exhibiting at the White Cube Gallery in Hong Kong is "The Sum of all Evil" by Jake and Dino Chapman. Exhibiting from May 22nd thru to August 31st, 2013, on show is essentially a cluster of four vitrines, containing mixed media figurines on show … And courtesy of Fredy Chandra (@fredc2209), we have a splendid selection of Adult-Themed imagery to share! *YOU ARE SUITABLY WARNED*
WHAT-IS: "Monumental in scope and minute in detail, 'The Sum of all Evil' (2012-13) occupies the entire ground floor of the gallery and is the most densely imagined diorama installation that the artists have produced to date. The fourth in a series of ‘Hell’ landscapes – the first and most well known of which, 'Hell'(1999), was destroyed in a warehouse fire – the work features a multitude of intricately modelled Nazi soldiers, along with various characters from the fast food chain McDonald's, committing violent, abhorrent acts set amid an apocalyptic landscape within four glass vitrines. Darkly humorous, 'The Sum of all Evil', as its title suggests, is imaginative rather than descriptive: a summation of all the worst possible 'evils', violence runs amok in a trans-historical and a-temporal arena."

WHO: "Iakovos "Jake" Chapman (born 1966) and Konstantinos "Dinos" Chapman (born 1962) are English visual artists, often known as the Chapman Brothers, who work together as a collaborative sibling duo. Their subject matter tends to concentrate on whatever is generally deemed to be appalling, vulgar, offensive, etc. — including, in 2008, a series of works that appropriated original watercolours by Adolf Hitler. In the mid-1990s, their sculptures were included in the YBA showcase exhibitions Brilliant! and Sensation. In 2003, the two were nominated for the annual Turner Prize but lost out to Grayson Perry."
