Shrigley with 'Untitled'. 2012. Acrylic on wall
With about two weeks left on David Shrigley’s showing at the Hayward Gallery in London, now is a good time to share some photos with you to hopefully encourage you to make the trip out to take a look at Brain Activity for yourself. The retrospective includes a wide range of works from the UK-based artist such as sculpture, paintings, photography, drawings, taxidermy, animation, and more all infused with his special form of humor.
We’ve split the photos into two sets so look out for Part II of our coverage soon. More after the jump…
