A common theme across David Shrigley’s work is the inclusion of a varied range of animals, from endangered species like tigers, elephants and polar bears, to domestic creatures like dogs, cats and rabbits. His use of the animal kingdom adds to the absurdity of his works with those featured engaging in peculiar or unexpected activities. The simplicity of these works adds to the humour and accessibility of his art for both kids and adults. Shrigley’s longstanding interest in exploring the relationship between humans and animals comes from his belief that “animals are more authentic and honest than humans”, and that they often serve as a reflection of human behaviour.
