David Shrigley (English, born 1968)
David Shrigley was born in Macclesfield and studied environmental art at Glasgow School of Art. After graduating he began publishing books of quirky, doodle-like drawings. As well as drawing incessantly, he photographs, makes sculptures and performs 'public interventions' which he then photographs for display. Shrigley consciously shuns the knowingness and commercial professionalism of much contemporary art, preferring a dysfunctional language of doodles, vandalism and graffiti. His work is infused with a dark, dry humour which highlights the absurdity of our everyday fears and aspirations.
