Yuval Etgar Author & Editor

Jake Chapman is an artist and a writer famous for his iconoclastic sculptures, prints and installations. He has worked collaboratively with his brother Dinos for three decades; the Chapmans first received critical acclaim in 1991 for the diorama sculpture Disasters of War and since then have exhibited extensively in solo and group shows. In 2015, Jake directed The Marriage of Reason and Squalor, a film based on his first novel of the same title. The book was followed by Memoirs of My Writer’s Block, INTROSPASTIC: From the Blackened Beyond and, most recently, 2+2=5, a rectified version of George Orwell’s flawed masterpiece 1984.
