Jake & Dinos Chapman — Pregnant Eye Head I from The Exquisite Corpse

Pregnant Eye Head I from The Exquisite Corpse

A grotesque yet meticulously rendered figure emerges from the collaborative imagination of Jake and Dinos Chapman, depicting a distorted human form crowned with a bulbous, eye-laden head that suggests themes of bodily mutation and surrealist horror. Executed in etching and watercolor on paper, the work combines precise, fine-line draftsmanship with delicate washes of color, heightening the unsettling tension between technical refinement and visceral subject matter. Part of the larger series *The Exquisite Corpse*, the piece draws on the Surrealist parlor game tradition to explore fragmented identity, transformation, and the transgressive possibilities of the human body.
