“I think the best kind of humour is the kind of humour where you don’t quite understand what you’re laughing at – you intuitively know that there’s something there that’s both funny and ‘other’.”
In this series, David Shrigley puts the mundane in the headlines, bringing the inconsequential to our attention with bold and unapologetic text. Not unlike what we see on social media, such small moments of discontent might fade quickly from memory or draw too much attention. Shrigley’s works are accessible and unpretentious. He embraces humor and creates works that elicit many different reactions from viewers.
