David Shrigley’s linocuts distil his irreverent and instantly recognisable voice into simple, text-driven compositions. These works highlight the power of language, displaying statements that oscillate between humour, irony, and the absurd truth and are underscored by Shrigley’s characteristic clarity of form.
