Kievsky PinchukArtCentre Is one of the most active and promising contemporary art museums in Europe. It regularly hosts exhibitions of the most famous masters of our times. For example, a personal exposition was recently opened there. Jake and Dinos Chapmanrepresenting their work The Sum of All Evil.
In the past few years, billionaire Victor Pinchuk has become known to the whole world of contemporary art thanks to the tens of millions of dollars invested by this patron in its development. He tries to open contemporary art for Ukraine, and Ukraine for contemporary art. For example, he created an unusual museum in Dnepropetrovsk, located on the territory of a metallurgical plant, and in Kiev - the PinchukArtCentre exhibition center.
It is at the PinchukArtCentre that the recent exhibition of Jake and Dinos Chapman, titled "Chicken", has opened in the framework of which their work The Sum of All Evil is presented.
The Sum of All Evil was created precisely by order of the PinchukArtCentre. This work consists of four miniature dioramas dedicated to the tragedy of Babi Yar. In autumn-winter 1941, German troops destroyed more than 30 thousand people in this area in Kiev - Jews, communists, and activists of the Ukrainian underground.
However, all the horror that was happening at Babi Yar is shown in a very peculiar manner typical of the Chapman brothers. For example, they depicted fascist soldiers with the help of painted tin soldiers, and as their victims you can find cartoon characters and even many clowns by Ronald McDonald.
A person familiar with the history of world art will easily find in the work of Jake and Dinos Chapman The Sum of All Evil references to paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and prints by Francisco Goya - artists who also loved to depict human passions and vices.
