David Shrigley's drawings, paintings, animations, and neon texts embrace cartoon aesthetics and an absurd, deadpan sensibility. The artist delights in satirizing everyday human interactions, filtering the mundane through a sense of childlike wonder and an unguarded sense of humor. Shrigley tends to use certain subjects, including animals, to depict their stereotyped behaviors and characteristics. The artist’s naïve drawing style and his unusual subject evoke a child’s imagination.
