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.
We love the way Shrigley's artwork is both relatable and funny, turning simple everyday encounters into comedic and often satirical commentary. His naive and childish style is contradicted by his witty and confronting typography, drawing the viewer into a false sense of security before they read the handwritten text. Toeing the line between cheekiness and introspection, Shrigley's musings are sure to brighten your day.

It takes a rather eccentric personality to open up your inner musings to the world, but David Shrigley embraces it wholeheartedly. Shrigley’s wry humour and handwritten messaging catapulted the art of typography to new heights. Shrigley's witty and often nonsensical ramblings have given new life to typographical art, making it relatable to a wide audience and, most importantly, showing that art can be fun, too. We love how Shrigley creates artwork for himself first, and his audience second. Shrigley says of this insular method of creation: “I draw to amuse myself on occasion, when I am bored and drawing is ...

What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
