Shut Up (2018)

'Shut Up' is one of four brand new prints made exclusively for Counter Editions. Shrigley's distinctive drawing style imbued with dry humour cuts to the point of human nature, making satirical comments on everyday situations and human interactions. Recurring themes pervade his story telling, capturing child-like views of the world; the perspective of aliens and monsters or the compulsive habits of an eavesdropper shouting out loud. His simple, verging-on-juvenile drawings annotated with his distinctive scrawling handwriting hold up a sardonic mirror which somehow generates flashes of profound clarity. This new set will be installed for public display at Sketch, London from early July as part of his ongoing solo show of 91 unique colourful works.
