About the Item
Swan Thing
By David Shrigley
David Shrigley is a British artist known for his distinctive and often humorous approach to contemporary art. His work spans a variety of mediums, including drawing, sculpture, animation, and installation, but he is perhaps best known for his crude yet expressive drawings that combine simplistic, childlike imagery with dark, absurd, and sometimes surreal commentary. Shrigley’s art frequently reflects his keen sense of the absurdities of life, touching on themes like human folly, existential confusion, and the contradictions inherent in everyday existence. His work invites viewers to laugh at the absurdity of the human condition while also provoking deeper reflection about the world around them.

David Shrigley
David Shrigley was born on September 17th, 1968, in Macclesfield, Cheshire, and grew up in Oadby, Leicestershire. He took the Art and Design Foundation course at Leicester Polytechnic in 1987, moving on to study environmental art at Glasgow School of Art in 1988, where he remained until 1991. During his studies, Shrigley worked as a gallery guide at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow.
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.
