New Exhibition by David Shrigley | 1 Oct - 4 Dec 2021

Extraordinary Objects are delighted to introduce their upcoming exhibition entitled ‘My Artwork Is Terrible and I am A Very Bad Person’; a chaotic and colourful display of artworks by British Contemporary artist David Shrigley.

The new exhibition that will launch October 1st intends to provide comic relief to visitors, celebrating the light at the end of a turbulent pandemic tunnel. Key pieces in the display will include five original acrylics on paper as well as a selection of highly sought-after limited edition prints, all signed by the artist.

Shrigley, a crude, comical and highly popular British artist, who is internationally recognised for his satirical, cartoonish ink drawings which observe everyday situations, human interactions and politics, was awarded an OBE for services to Visual Arts in 2020. His works continue to achieve impressive results at auction, with sales prices achieving far above their estimates.

David Shrigley stands out for many around the world due to the brilliant satire he brings into his work. Tackling serious issues like life and death, unemployment and child welfare, as well as more absurd subjects, his fragmented narratives can be both poignant and funny. He is both chaotic and colourful – and in high demand. While providing a rare opportunity to view and purchase works from this artist, the ‘My Artwork Is Terrible and I am A Very Bad Person’ exhibition is intended to afford both joy and intrigue to those visiting. We can all benefit from some light-hearted relief right now.
