Who is David Shrigley?

With an incredibly distinctive artistic style, Davids work conjures up ironic comments on everyday situations and human interactions. His perceptive drawings and texts are typically deadpan in their humour and reveal chance declarations like snippets of over-heard conversations.

Reoccurring themes and random musings permeate his story telling, often capturing childlike views of the world. Whilst drawing is at the core of his work, he is also prolific in various other mediums including sculpture, large-scale installations, painting, animation, photography and music.

In September 2016, David’s Fourth Plinth Commission in Trafalgar Square was unveiled. Standing at seven metres high, the ‘Really Good’ thumbs up sculpture was a refreshing and wonderfully optimistic addition to the famous landmark. David’s work can also be found at an on-going display in the Gallery at Sketch Restaurant in London as part of a long-term programme of artist conceived restaurants. His works are included in prominent collections internationally including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh; Tate, London and The British Council, London.
