jake and dinos chapman have a new show up at the white cube gallery in london called like a dog returns to its vomit. as the title suggests it’s not new work as such, but rather the complete corpus of their revised etchings. hundreds of them. on the surface, which is to say to hear them and their work described, the chapman’s would seem primary candidates for the yawn treatment and yet more often than not i enjoy their work. perhaps it’s because, as a recent guardian article puts it, unusually in contemporary art, they have this thing called talent. see the work, hear what they’ve got to say, and decide for yourself.
