David Shrigley features in 'A Dog’s Life'

St John’s Church re-opens this summer with a new canine themed show A Dog’s Life. Artists include David Shrigley, Sophie Ryder, Mychael Barratt, Holy Smoke, Shauna Richardson, Martha Todd and Gerrard Gethings.

Shrigley’s quick-witted drawings and hand-rendered texts are typically deadpan in their humour and reveal chance utterings like snippets of over-heard conversations. Recurring themes and thoughts pervade his storytelling, capturing deliberately two-dimensional views of the world, the perspective of aliens and monsters or the compulsive habits of an eavesdropper shouting out loud.
