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.

What is a limited edition?
So you’ve found your perfect limited edition artwork, but what does this actually mean? Limited editions are original artworks that an artist creates in a particular print medium, such as a giclée print, screen print or photograph. Our limited edition artworks are specifically created by our talented artists with a maximum edition number in mind. The term ‘limited edition’ refers to the total number of artworks that are available for that particular piece. The edition size can vary widely between artworks, however most of the time our artists create editions in small numbers ranging from 10 to a few hundred.

Supplied to us by trusted third-party sellers that are carefully vetted, you’re sure to find artworks you’ll love by celebrated contemporary and modern artists. We are dedicated to helping people to find original art that they can relate to and secondary market artworks span limited edition prints to sculptures and original artworks.
