David Shrigley - Word Play and Provocation
David Shrigley was born in 1968 in Macclesfield, GB and studied at the Glasgow School of Art. He is best known for his satirical drawings with text, which make fun of and display the banality of everyday situations with black humour. Most of his work consists of drawings, sculptures, installations and paintings. As a big music fan he also designs record covers again and again.
Shrigley describes his own style as “a kind of artistic doodling, coupled with a not-so-beautiful handwriting.” Described by his professors as “too funny,” Shrigley has always felt, however, that he “only wants to draw like this, not any other way.” Serious art can also be funny, and the opposite of serious art is not funny art, but bad art, Shrigley said. |
