Rezensionen

The best gift book, for a crazy person you really, really like

David Shrigley is probably the funniest gallery-type artist who ever lived

Funny and profound and surprising all at the same time

Shrigley addresses the weird, dark and ugly sides of the world, but, most importantly, he'll make you laugh while doing so

Shrigley's bonkers, mordant, often joyously meaningless doodles are always oddly life-affirming

With a casual gesture Shrigley points to that hideous shape whose name I've never known - and then he names it. And the name is profoundly, embarrassingly familiar. I'm laughing while frantically searching for a pen, so desperate to capture the feeling he has unearthed in me

On the kink of his line Shrigley can shift effortlessly from pathos to paranoia. And his work is funny - very funny; his timing devastatingly effective

Shrigley deserves his immense popularity. For almost 20 years he has produced a ceaseless stream of ideas, observations, jokes and strange insights in the form of left-field drawings that have appeared in broadsheet newspapers, books and magazines as well as galleries. Deadpan, escapist and distinctively cack-handed, they make up a little world in themselves

Shrigley mines a mordant, scatological seam, conjuring up the dark tradition of British humour that threw up Tony Hancock and Chris Morris
