About David Shrigley
To coincide with David Shrigley’s Fourth Plinth commission Really Good in London’s Trafalgar Square, YSP presented a display of the artist’s original drawings.
Displayed in YSP Centre, the four artworks formed part of a new body of work by Shrigley. Using acrylic paint and oil stick, the artist employed his distinctive combination of drawing and text to create these large-scale works on paper. Shrigley’s quick witted work is usually deadpan in its humour and comments on human nature and everyday situations.

Henry Moore: Upright Motives No. 1 (Glenkiln Cross): No 2; No 7
Moore created twelve Upright Motives in the mid 1950s. In their powerful symbolism these pieces owe much to the tall, upright stones, known as menhirs, from prehistoric times. Moore brought all these influences together to create forms which are unmistakably his own. - News
