Shrigley’s art practice started young, at the age of 11. He was introduced to album covers and quickly developed a love of album design, becoming determined to create the record covers for Adam and the Ants. Shrigley studied Environmental Art at the Glasgow School of Art, where his studio was often broken into and vandalised. Shrigley found this anti-fine art attitude funny, and it contributed to his well-known anecdotal style. When Shrigley finished his studies, he was encouraged by his friends to create and publish books containing his drawings. The simplicity of his works means that they appeal to a wide audience and that anyone, art expert or not, can enjoy them. From selling books at £3.50 to the customers in his local pub, Shrigley now has exhibited globally, with solo shows across Europe, the United States of America, Asia, New Zealand, and Australia. His group exhibitions are similarly geographically diverse, with shows in the United Kingdom, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the United States of America. As a prolific artist, Shrigley has been nominated for the 2013 Turner Prize and awarded an honorary doctorate by De Montford University in Leicester, UK. In addition, he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to visual arts.
