David Shrigley

David Shrigley’s editions are whimsically absurd and darkly humorous. Text is fundamental to his practice: hand drawn forms are combined with handwritten text. The textual commentaries narrated by ‘some crazed person who either over- or undermoralizes everything’ satirise everyday life moments in a false naivety and astutely address socially relevant and politically charged topics. Poignant and shrewd, as well as surreal and funny, Shrigley’s prints tap into moments of solitary reflection and intimate confession common to us all.
