David Shrigley

British artist David Shrigley has worked with various media, though he is best known for his mordantly humorous cartoons describing various conditions of ineptitude and the bizarre. His work, which bears reference to Outsider Art, often focuses on the infiltration of violence and the effects of morbid curiosity on the mundane. His films, which have included music videos for Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and Blur, are animations of the narratives implicit in the drawings. These tales of curiosity and misadventure and their deadpan humour stay with the viewer long after the last frame has disappeared.
