David Shrigley features in ‘POP LIFE’
New paintings by David Shrigley are currently on view as part of the group exhibition POP LIFE at the City Art Centre, Edinburgh.
POP LIFE highlights the ongoing fascination with the human form as a reflection of identity and societal values, drawing on art history, socio-political movements, and cultural shifts from the past six decades.
Featuring works by Scottish and international artists—many exhibiting in Scotland for the first time—the exhibition explores the intersection of popular culture and contemporary figurative drawing. The show pushes the limits of traditional drawing practices, referencing diverse influences from music, film, fashion, literature, social media, and celebrity culture.
POP LIFE is a travelling exhibition, previously shown in Sweden (2022-23) and the Netherlands (2023). It is co-curated by artists Euan Gray and Witte Wartena, and is adapted from previous iterations to include Scottish artists: Marc Brandenburg, Laura Bruce, Andrew Cranston, Marcel van Eeden, Jamie Fitzpatrick, Euan Gray, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, Paul McDevitt, Fiona Michie, Charlotte Schleiffert, David Shrigley, Donald Urquhart and Witte Wartena.
The new unique paintings on paper by David Shrigley are now available to purchase.
