David Shrigley

I saw this collection at the 2012 Whitney Biennial.

The New Yorker blog describes David Shrigley's work as "rough-hewn illustrations with demented-yet-pungent aphorisms." They're referring to his 2-D paintings on paper, but the description fits all of his work. I first saw tattoos of his images on friends. And, yay, he's just been nominated for the Turner Prize.
