The School of Life Sunday Sermon: David Shrigley on Vice
4th November 2012 · 11:00am - 11:00am
In person | Virtual event
David Shrigley is making a list of vices and virtues. He’s weighing them up. He’s sketching them out. He’s thinking about what he’s going to say. He doesn’t know yet. But when he settles his dark eye and mordant wit on his choice of our follies we can be sure this will be a sermon like no other.; David Shrigley is among the best-loved artists of this generation. His first major survey exhibition Brain Activity in Spring 2012 at the Hayward Gallery London has been hugely well received. His wildly influential crude drawing style comes from his ambition to ‘communicate as simply and directly as possible’. We can recognize ourselves all too easily in his provocative and complex studies of everyday absurdities. An hour spent looking through Shrigley’s eyes changes how we see the world.
