David Shrigley is a British artist known for his distinctive satirical drawings, prints, sculptures, and animations that blend dark humour with a deceptively simple, childlike style. Born in 1968, Shrigley gained widespread recognition for his witty and often absurd observations on everyday life, human behaviour, and societal norms. His work frequently features hand-written text paired with quirky illustrations, delivering humorous and thought-provoking messages. In addition to his visual art, Shrigley has worked on books, music videos, and public art projects, including his giant Thumbs Up sculpture in London’s Trafalgar Square. His ability to combine humour with deeper existential themes has made him one of the most distinctive contemporary artists working today.

Shrigley has had several notable solo exhibitions for his iconic visual art, including "David Shrigley" at Dundee Contemporary Arts (2006), "Everything Must Have a Name" at the Malmo Konsthall in Sweden (2007), an exhibition at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead (2008), the Museum Ludwig in Cologne (2008), "New Powers" at the Kunsthalle Mainz in Germany (2009), the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow (2010) and "Animate" at the Turku Art Museum in Finland (2011).
In 2016, Shrigley’s work was part of a British Council touring exhibition. In the same month, he was showcased in the Liverpool Provocations event. Shrigley was nominated for the 2013 Turner Prize and awarded an OBE in the Queen’s New Years Honours List 2020. Shrigley is collected by the Stephen Friedman Gallery (London), Anton Kern Gallery (New York), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Tate (London) and the Royal Academy of Arts (London) among other institutions.
