About the work
Life is Fantastic
Using acrylic paint and oil stick, Shrigley’s satirical combination of drawing and text are showcased on Life is Fantastic. The thick brightly coloured paint is full of texture and plays with the opacity of the paper, bringing Shrigley’s characteristic imaginings into a new dimension. His subtle yet darkly amusing, Life is Fantastic underlines the absurdity of daily life with a touch of humour and ambiguity. Like the rest of his artistic production, Shrigley’s strength lies in its deceptive simplicity and its power to engage the viewer.
