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.

Kenny Hunter: Bonfire
Kenny Hunter’s work is an examination of popular culture through the legacy of a darker history that continues to shape contemporary life. His work disrupts traditional modes of sculpture presentation by using bronze, which is associated with traditional statues or monuments, in combination with humble or everyday subject matter. This can be seen in the Bonfire works that are in the YSP landscape.
