DAVID SHRIGLEY

Shrigley first came to attention in the 1990s for the witty drawings rich in black humor that have gone on to define his career, and is known foran impressively diverse practice that ranges from drawings and paintings combining text and image, to sculpture, taxidermy objects,photography, short animations, and installations. As evident in his installations skewering the systems around exhibition of artworks, Shrigleydraws on the intellectual playfulness found in the likes of Marcel Duchamp and conceptual art to create works replete with an upbeatnonsensicality and sense of humor far removed from the air of abstruseness that many see as characterizing contemporary art.

Based on his belief that art is for everyone, Shrigley seems to be striving to open up possibilities for art as common ground for people. Hisworks, which have also been described as childlike, are indeed aimed at all people, including children. Don’t miss this chance to experiencethe artistic realm of David Shrigley in all its outside-the-box originality and criticality.
