David Shrigley: Brain Activity
Yesterday, I checked out the new ‘Brain Activity’ exhibition by David Shrigley at The Hayward Gallery over at Southbank Centre. Combining a curious combination of comic book and conceptual art, Shrigley masters the mediums of animated film, taxidermy and 3D sculpture to provoke and confuse. Best known for his anarchic humour, I found myself giggling round the gallery like a school kid at his crude, witty sketches, evil cartoon characters and eccentric taxidermy sculptures. Highlights of the exhibition include a shopping list gravestone, hilarious doodles and a headless ostrich. Brilliant, wacky British art at its best.
