The Chapman brothers emerged in the nineties as major British artists attracting enormous attention and controversy with such works as Great Deeds Against the Dead (1994), based on a sculptural recreation of a scene from Goya's The Disasters of War. Their work questioned commonly assumed values about art and its relationship to the public and to history. They created a series of sculptures of apparently mutant figures with such titles as DNA Zygotic (1997), a multi-headed monster, and Tragic Anatomies (1996), an AstroTurf garden of mutant creatures like a contemporary scene from Bosch. Their nightmare vision culminated in a huge tableau of Hell (1998-2000), a landscape filled with hundreds of figures committing every imaginable atrocity, which forms the centrepiece to this book. More recently they have invented a pseudo-anthropological collection of tribal objects dedicated to the fast-food chain McDonald's. Their fascination with Goya has continued with the creation of their own coloured version of The Disasters, an exquisite but hideous tour-de-force.

Jake and Dinos Chapman

In Bedtime Tales for Sleepless Nights, Jake and Dinos Chapman re-imagine the Victorian morality tale. While their immorality Tales are wrought from the innocent language of the childrens colouring book, the messages they sagely pass on to our younger folk are far from the saccharin coated yarns familiar to the genre. The scenes these Tales depict are vivid and troubling, and will have dramatic consequences for the nocturnal serenity of the readers children These coloured etchings and stories have been made by the artists specifically for this project and are reproduced exclusively in this book.
