I Hate Human Beings
2021
Executed as a screenprint in 2021, this work presents one of Shrigley's most direct and confrontational statements about humanity. The hostile declaration "I Hate Human Beings" is rendered in bold, uncompromising typography paired with the artist's crude figurative imagery. The use of multiple colors in the screenprint process adds visual complexity to this blunt emotional statement. The work on wove paper maintains Shrigley's commitment to quality printing materials despite the work's aggressive content. This piece exemplifies how printmaking can serve as a vehicle for authentic emotional expression.
