David Shrigley crafts darkly comic absurdist art
Through no selection of his own, 's signature artwork is a stuffed, black-and-white puppy sitting on its hind legs, holding a hand-painted placard saying "I'm Dead."
Shrigley, the noted Scottish artist whose bare cartoon drawings, animations and sculptures - a squirrel on the stump holding its furry head, twisty bronze screws and gleaming ceramic boots - hum with dark-hued absurdist humor and conceptual curiosity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], made the piece this year. "I'm Dead" was such a hit when it was shown at Glasgow's together with other stuffed animals, it had become the poster image for Shrigley's shows,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and spurred him to make three similar pieces (another pup and 2 kittens) for collectors. It also riled literal-minded dog lovers.
"I got lots of messages via Facebook and whatnot, asking how I could do that to that dog," says Shrigley, a gentlemanly giant - he's 6-foot-5 - waiting in a gallery at San Francisco's , in which a major survey of his work, "Brain Activity," continues view Friday.
"I had to say, 'Hold on. It's not a dog. It's no more a dog than your shoes are a cow.'
"It's plaster of Paris having a dog hide and glass eyes. I'm greatly against animal cruelty. This work is about death and the nature of life after death, contributing to the perversity of taxidermy, I guess. It is a really perverse work, however really quite attractive at the same time."
The same may be said of some other appealing piece inside a show that's full of fun and unexpected stuff, "Gravestone" from 2008. It's a polished,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], gray granite headstone inscribed with a mundane grocery list lettered in gold: bread, milk, cornflakes, baked beans, tomatoes, aspirin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], biscuits. Then there's the brass handbell that sits alongside just a little sign saying, "Not to be rung until Jesus returns." He makes many of these works, from the crumpled aluminum ladder to the animation of the headless rock drummer - a riff on the cliche that drummers are "the least intellectually able member of this guitar rock band," as the artist puts it - the best way he can get the idea across.
"I only put just as much craft into anything as is required,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and sometimes a bit less," says Shrigley, a 1991 graduate of who'd always made cartoon-like drawings but didn't make sure they are the center of his "fine art" for several years. He tried becoming a professional cartoonist. (He did a weekly cartoon for the left-leaning the New Statesmen for any spell.) "I had no success like a cartoonist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however i still really enjoyed making work by doing this," adds the artist, who was inspired in equal measure by great conceptualists from the 20th century: and .
They "opened up the nature of what art might be and what you might be as an artist," says Shrigley. He credits Warhol with giving artists the liberty "to do anything, to appropriate anything, regardless of how mundane or worldly it's, to become art. Eggers says he was surprised to determine the artist was "so clean-cut and sane. Like lots of people who have loved his art, I believed he was a lot more bizarre and unhinged."
One might make that assumption seeing Shrigley drawings like the one of the frog who says: "Would you lick the slime off my back? You'll have an amazing hallucinogenic trip (after 2 days of licking, you realize the toad is lying)." Nearby hangs a sketch of sunglasses with the comment: "Many now consider the world through dark glasses." It's hard not to like that hooded snake waiting to become hanged, or the wolf that simply ate a painter.
This stuff filter through Shrigley's mind because he works at his drawing table every single day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tapping his brain activity. "I just think concerning the process, and not the end result,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he says. "I have a list of things I wish to draw, or phrases that I want to use. I make a specific amount of work every single day. I do not consider themes. I've about 50 pieces of paper plus they all need to be full by the end during the day. That's the only rule towards the process," adds the artist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who throws out 75 % of the drawings.
One gallery will be filled with lots of black welded-steel objects - insect-like creatures, human stick figures and spherical forms - which exist inside a kind of charred,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], end-of-the-world environment. A large, moon-like black ball hangs within the scene. Shrigley thinks of the creatures as extras in "The Road," the post-apocalyptic novel that obsesses him.
A splotchy dark sun is painted about the wall of some other space, where a ceramic bit of chocolate cake, a large bronze nut, a huge wood tooth and other objects take a seat on a raised runway. An animated work projected with an adjacent wall work brings a procession of other everyday objects and fantastical creatures - a cracked teapot, a glass of water, a lumpy one-eyed figure with an antenna sprouting from the head - passing by on a conveyer belt.
