David Shrigley 'He Will Only Eat Squid Ink Pasta'

David Shrigley was born in 1968 in Macclesfield.  His quick-witted drawings and hand-rendered texts are typically deadpan in their humour and reveal chance utterings like snippets of over-heard conversations. Recurring themes and thoughts pervade his storytelling, capturing child-like views of the world, the perspective of aliens and monsters or the compulsive habits of an eavesdropper shouting out loud. He was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2013 and has exhibited extensively in museums and galleries around the world.
