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.

Walter Midener "Contemplation" Seated Figure Clay Sculpture Mid-Century Modern
Located in Detroit, MI
“Contemplation” is an abstract clay sculpture of a female. The figure has both arms and legs extended, but the dignified pose suggests an intimate rather than a sexual moment. The sculpture is delicately rendered, but monumental in pose and clean composition reminiscent of the English artist Henry Moore. The surface is warm and slightly rough to the touch. This sculpture is in the round and beautifully balanced geometrically with the hands clasped behind the head forming a slightly flattened polygon shape that is echoed in the positioning of the legs and draped fabric of a presumed dress. The figure draws the viewer into her contemplation, peace and confidence. An exceptional piece by Midener. Walter Midener...
