David Shrigley — Everything is Fine
David Shrigley

Everything is Fine

"Everything is Fine" exemplifies David Shrigley's characteristic blend of crude figuration and darkly comedic text, rendered through screenprint with colored inks and a protective varnish overlay. The work's deliberately crude drawing style and sardonic message create a tension between the work's reassuring title and its underlying emotional ambiguity, typical of the artist's practice. Printed on Somerset Satin paper in full sheet format, the work demonstrates Shrigley's engagement with accessible printmaking techniques to distribute his confrontational yet humorous visual language.
