David Shrigley's distinctive drawing style imbued with dry humour cuts to the point of human nature, making satirical comments on everyday situations and human interactions. Recurring themes pervade his storytelling, capturing child-like views of the world. Shrigley’s simple, verging-on-juvenile drawings annotated with his distinctive scrawling handwriting are refreshingly egalitarian, direct and immensely profound. With "I Hate Humans", 2022 Shrigley captures some of the tensions and high stakes facing our planet and its fauna by speaking on their behalf. With his characteristic humor, Shrigley engages with our natural environment by highlighting the ramification of human beings’ actions while also offering hope that we as induvial can make a difference.
