This Huge Cat

2022

This 2022 offset lithography work features a feline subject rendered through Shrigley's distinctively crude and unsettling visual approach on Munken Lynx paper. The title's emphasis on scale suggests an examination of proportion, power dynamics, or the unexpected within the familiar. The cat, typically a beloved domestic subject, appears transformed through the artist's deliberately crude aesthetic into something more disturbing or thought provoking. The work maintains Shrigley's commitment to challenging conventional beauty and comfort in visual representation. This piece exemplifies how the artist uses simple subjects to explore deeper psychological and emotional territories.
