'Ich bin ein ekelhafter Mensch mit Sinn für Humor' David Shrigley Tiefe Weisheit und schallendes Gelächter: David Shrigley ist einer der originellsten zeitgenössischen Künstler. Wir zeigen seine besten Bilder und Texte. Seine Bilder sind bizarr, abgründig, albern, tieftraurig, voller Schalk. Und sie sind vor allem eines: unverwechselbar. David Shrigley, ein Held des schwarzen Humors und ein Star der Indie-Szene, hat eine Botschaft, auch wenn diese oft mit einem hintergründigen Grinsen daherkommt. Jedes seiner scheinbar nur hingekritzelten Bilder birgt eine überraschende und erhellende Perspektive - es ist, als würde man in einen Abgrund blicken und dabei schallend lachen. Launenhaft und unberechenbar setzt er ein Universum aus kleinen Bausteinen zusammen und führt uns die Absurdität menschlicher Existenz vor Augen. Mit speziell für diese Ausgabe in deutscher Sprache konzipierten Arbeiten.
