David Shrigley was born in 1968 in Macclesfield, UK. Though drawing is at the centre of his practice, Shrigley works across an extensive range of media including sculpture, large-scale installation, animation, painting, photography and music. He consistently seeks to widen his audience by operating outside the gallery sphere, including producing artist publications and creating collaborative music projects. His illustrations has been featured as album art for musicians like David Byrne, Franz Ferdinand, and Bonnie Prince Billy, as well as in the form of large-scale public sculptures, published books, and hand-drawn animations. This work is a typical example of his style, demonstrating, among other things, his propensity to use animals and the stereotypes associated with them to allude to deeper social themes.
