About the artist:
David Shrigley is an artist and illustrator best known for his mordantly humorous cartoons. Self-branded as an outsider in the art world, Shrigley is known for making flat compositions that take on the inconsequential, the bizarre, and the disquieting elements of everyday life.
As well as drawing incessantly, he photographs, makes sculptures and performs 'public interventions' which he then photographs for display. Shrigley consciously shuns the knowingness and commercial professionalism of much contemporary art, preferring a dysfunctional language of doodles, vandalism and graffiti.
His work is infused with a dark, dry humour which highlights the absurdity of our everyday fears and aspirations.Recent exhibitions include those at GoMA, Glasgow (2015-2016) and Yvon Lambert Paris (2011). In 2012, London’s Hayward Gallery hosted Brain Activity, a retrospective of Shrigley’s work for which he was shortlisted for the 2013 Turner Prize.
