David Shrigley b. 1968

David Shrigley is a British artist celebrated for his witty, deadpan drawings and text-based works. His deceptively simple lines and playful, often absurd phrases have earned him a global following and a unique position within contemporary art.
Shrigley’s work extends across drawing, sculpture, printmaking and public art, including his widely acclaimed commission for Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth. With a style that is humorous, direct and philosophically sharp, he continues to influence both contemporary visual culture and the wider world of illustration and design.
