Steinberg combined minimalist ink line drawings with philosophical and linguistic wit, using crude yet precise mark making to deliver absurdist conceptual statements. His word based imagery and deliberately naive figuration share the same deadpan communicative economy seen in this Shrigley print.

Pettibon fuses bold ink drawings with fragmentary text and suppression themes, creating works where language and crude figuration operate together as philosophical or political statements. His printmaking practice and use of stark black lines on paper closely mirrors the visual and conceptual register of this Shrigley piece.

Fahlström integrated typography, control imagery, and conceptual text into minimalist graphic works on paper, exploring themes of communication, secrecy, and systemic power. His fusion of word based art with bold printed mark making aligns directly with the silence and suppression themes present in this Shrigley offset lithograph.
