Art has a responsibility of representing mankind in every facet, even in its ugliness. The Pinchukartcentre in Kiev, Ukraine is presenting the first solo exhibition of London-based duo Jake and Dinos Chapman. Their latest piece entitled The Sum of All Evil is a dark look on humanity, with morbid themes that your mother wouldn't appreciate. They put the holocaust, violence, and dark humor in the forefront of their artwork. What's interesting is that the themes are not glamorized; they've created black humor in the fact that they are dramatizing vulgarity and highlighting the ugly. They've even added some references to McDonalds for some added shock factor. Below is a peek at the exhibit and how it is being received by visitors.
