Stop Panicking

David Shrigley's "Stop Panicking" is a 2021 screenprint with varnish overlay that exemplifies the artist's characteristic crude drawing style and darkly humorous text based approach to contemporary art. Published by Jealous Gallery in an edition of 125, the work combines childlike figuration with its imperative title to create a sardonic commentary on anxiety and modern life. The piece is printed on Somerset Satin wove paper at a substantial scale of approximately 76 by 56 centimetres, allowing Shrigley's bold graphic intervention to command viewer attention.
