Acclaimed British artist David Shrigley is known for his small-small-scale, black ink sketches, which play on our expectations of figurative skill and expertise. Suffused with deadpan humour, Shrigley’s naive images are accompanied by laconic pops of wry text, intensifying the offbeat naivety of his unique aesthetic.
Transforming the surface sketch to the three-dimensional object, ‘Ridiculous Swan Thing’ is Shrigley’s response to the current cult of the extravagant pool accessory. But you can forget the fabulous flamingo or the magical unicorn: the sear of Shrigely’s satire lies in the pitch-perfect meeting of word and image. Here, the title replaced the signature scribbled text accompaniment: nothing could better describe the blank-faced, puffy-white form than Shrigley’s tongue-in-cheek title - hello, ridiculous swan thing.
