In A l’infini 2008-9 spirals are present again. Trapped by the spiral she hangs in mid-air, suspended and spinning in a constant state of her own fragility.Īlthough the spiral can control chaos, there is always the underlying threat that the spiral will unravel. In the hanging bronze sculpture Spiral Woman 1984 the figure is bound by a thick coil, with only her limbs visible. The spiral also suggests violence – the wringing of necks. Explore the Chapmans's exquisite corpse drawings in Art & Artists. Other artists have since used the process to make unsettling drawings, including contemporary artists Jake and Dinos Chapman. They called this process exquisite corpse (cadavre exquis in French). This process of making drawings was invented by surrealist artists at the beginning of the twentieth century. Draw in a shoe or table or plant, instead of sections of the body, to see what happens. Now change the activity by adding some objects.Unfold the drawing to find a hybrid body.Pass the paper on again to draw the feet. They should then fold the paper again and pass it back to you (or on to the next person if you are in a group) to draw the legs. Pass the paper to your collaborator to draw the body. Fold the paper so you hide your drawn head but leave a few marks that show where your drawn neck ends. Draw a head and neck on a piece of paper.Collaborate with a friend or family member (or group) and play this drawing game.
