Iakovos “Jake” e Kostantinos “Dinos” nascono rispettivamente nel 1966 a Londra e nel 1962 a Cheltenham, Regno Unito. Artisti visivi conosciuti anche come i Chapman Brothers, esponenti della Young British Art, si formano al Royal College of Art di Londra iniziando a collaborare a partire dal 1990. L’operato dei fratelli Chapman si distingue per la creazione di opere dal forte sapore dissacrante e provocatorio.
