{"title":"David Shrigley","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Shrigley (b. 1968, Macclesfield) works across drawing, sculpture, animation, photography, and printed matter. His practice is built around a deliberately blunt graphic language — hand-lettered text, simple line drawings, deadpan humour — that operates at the edge of the absurd and the mundane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the early 1990s, Shrigley has produced a sustained body of small publications, postcards, posters, and multiples that circulate outside the conventional gallery object. These printed works are not secondary to his practice: they are one of its primary forms, carrying his work through informal, accessible channels and into everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eItems here include artist books, pocket publications, exhibition posters, and related printed ephemera.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"david-shrigley-man-in-a-room-blue-q-2007","title":"David Shrigley — Man in a Room, Blue Q, 2007","description":"\u003cp\u003eMiniature artist booklet \/ pocket book.

Green printed cover with hand-lettered title, containing a sequence of deadpan drawings and short text fragments.
