DAVID SHRIGLEY
Le Studio – Project Room
From December 14, 2006 to January 27, 2007
Opening December 14, 2006 David Shrigley will present a broad range of new works at Yvon Lambert Paris for his latest exhibition; a large selection of drawings and animation films he has made this year, as well as limited edition posters and monotypes he has made in conjunction with the CNEAI in Paris.
A chronicler of modern life, David Shrigley sees the absurd in the everyday, capturing and rendering it in a variety of different media. His simple and direct images, objects and stories, grapple with the burdens of humanity addressing fears, phobias, love and cruelty with and acerbic wit. They are expressions of beguiling honesty which display strange and often disturbing thoughts. Accessible, awkward and highly intuitive, his drawings are almost childlike in their execution yet display the inner workings of an often crazy world.
One of the most well known artists of his generation,Shrigley has established a huge following due to his prolific working methods. His diverse practice has led him to publish numerous artists’ books, produce a pop promo for Indie band ‘Blur’ and become a regular contributor to the Weekend Guardian.
In this, his fifth solo exhibition at Yvon Lambert Paris, a selection of drawings, posters, monotypes and short animations have been brought together offering an opportunity to explore Shrigley’s uniquely funny, strange and sinister world.
Born in Macclesfield (1968) David Shrigley studied Environmental Art at Glasgow School of Art. He continues to live and work in Glasgow. Since graduating in 1991 he has exhibited widely both in the UK and internationally, including solo exhibitions at Kunsthaus, Zurich (2003) and Camden Arts Center, London (2002).
