An iconic artistic pairing have returned to their routes for a playful new show.

Jake and Dinos Chapman have returned to hastings where they spent some of their formative years for a new exhibition at the town’s Jerwood Gallery.

To mark the launch of the exhibition on Friday, the gallery hosted a one-day tattoo parlour where visitors could get a Chapman inspired body artwork ranging from an image of Adolf Hitler’s favourite German Shepherd Blondi to a deathcreeper figure.

The show was put on after a crowd funding appeal raised £30,000 and includes a room where the ceilings have been lowered to just five feet tall forcing the vast majority of visitors to stoop to see works by the German fuehrer. Works on display include sketches by Jake Chapman he made in Hastings in 1983 when he was aged just 19.

The pair have also re-created Tracy Emin’s tent featuring everyone she had slept with between 1963 and 1995, the original of which was destroyed by a warehouse fire in 2004 which also claimed some of the brothers’ work.

Dinos Chapman told a Guardian reporter that returning to the town had stirred up “terror, resentment, lust, cowardice” within him.

The exhibition runs until January 7.
