David Shrigley |
David Shrigley was born year 1968 in Macclesfield, Cheshire and likes to consider himself as a fine artist, he does alot of conceptual and minimalist art involving drawings, paintings, collages and photography. As well as this, Shrigley directs short animations and is also a musician.
This is one of Shrigley’s drawings, all of his drawings show creatures that take on strange forms and are usually accompanied by vague yet symbolic captions.
This is another drawing by Shrigley and could, potentially, be symbolic of selfishness, narrow- mindedness and general apathy towards danger and rules.
Karl Pilkington commented on Shrigley’s work by saying “ some of these drawings look a bit rushed to me”

But Shrigley suggests "being able to draw is neither here or there, it's like being in band and asked if you can the play guitar, you don't have to play the guitar that well"
