David Shrigley: “IT IS IT”

 

David Shrigley: “I started to draw in the way that I do as an attempt to reduce my ideas to their barest form; to communicate as simply and directly as possible. I think over the years that starting point has led to a style, but it isn’t something I intended or have been particularly conscious of. When I draw I try not to do the same thing twice.

Perhaps it is good that I have a poor memory.” (º)
