Product Information

Inspired by a simplicity of sorts, David Shrigley’s art is recognisable for his flat compositions accompanied by satirical comments on mundane, everyday situations. 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. Like the musings of a very wise child displaying the wit and humor of a seasoned observer of the adult world, his illustrations feature crossed-out words, scribbled, uneven lines, and darkly funny aphorisms about the world. Since first collaborating with Third Drawer Down Studio in 2007, Shrigley's works have remained a favourite for their humorous angst and cynicism about the disappointments of everyday life.

David Shrigley is known for his drawings, publications and sculptural works featuring the kind of throwaway beauty that spotlights aliens, idiots, monster children and bad parents. Shrigley's work has been exhibited widely, including solo shows at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. If you've come across David Shrigley art before, you might already be aware of his dry-wit humour and clever observations that are beautifully (and hilariously! Nominated for the Turner Prize in 2013, Glasgow School of Art alumnus Shrigley also created an elongated thumbs-up for the Fourth Plinth in London's Trafalgar Square in 2016 – in the (possibly satirical) hope of "making the world a better place".

We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. Despite his success with the highly collectable and instantly recognisable satirical drawings, Shrigley also works across other mediums including sculpture, animation, photography, large-scale installations and music.

You might have been lucky to bump into his giant sculpture 'Thumbs Up' in London a few years back, which was seen as a positive and friendly gesture to what seemed at the time, awaiting a very uncertain future.He is one of those unique artists, like Andy Warhol or Keith Haring, who is recognised within the art world but whose reach extends far beyond to impact our wider culture.
