David Shrigley (b. 1968, UK) is a leading British artist who works across drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, animation and print.
His quick-witted drawings and hand-rendered texts are typically deadpan in their humour and reveal chance utterings like snippets of overheard conversations. Recurring themes and thoughts pervade his storytelling, capturing deliberately two-dimensional views of the world, the perspective of aliens and monsters, or the compulsive habits of an eavesdropper shouting out loud.
