The Art of Hell..The sequal

[Dragon Forge Design]

The Chapman brothers have done it again..Apparently after their first project was destroyed in the 2004 warehouse fire in London..they recreated their vision of Hell.

Some may find find the subject matter offensive, but I feel its worth a look.

Meh. Never have been impressed by the Chapman brothers works. They\'re nothing more than vulgar opportunists in my opinion.

 

[freakinacage]

of course it\'s offensive, it\'s meant to be. an odd piece of \'art\' but it had the effect they hoped for

Wow, the original was a very large work, it must have been a lot of work to recreate it. I don\'t even think I\'d repeat one mini if it was destroyed

Would it be wicked of me to wonder if anyone had a match?

Mike Not at all, In fact I think if you asked the brothers for a Match..they would hand you one.. I think they feel that if you felt the need to burn it.. they would find it part of the projects eventual end..

Strange guys.

I agree with Steelcult, they are opportunists to the Max..I mean 7.5 million pounds the second time around..

I think it would be. How would you feel if I burned your art work? I\'m no more entitled to destroy your art than you are the art of another.

Looks pretty cool to me. Echoes of Bosch and Bruegel in there. Reminds me of those really huge dioramas GW used to make many years ago.

Is this sort of stuff really offensive? It\'s pretty tame really....
