Art &
Culture

Buy Tickets

David Shrigley is one of Britain’s most recognisable contemporary artists. A Turner Prize nominee and an Instagram phenomenon, he is celebrated for his deadpan drawings that mix humour with bleakness. 

In his new book, Creative Writing, Shrigley turns his distinctive style to prose. Absurdist and anarchic, Creative Writing is a collection of the internationally acclaimed artist and illustrator’s comic writing, showcasing Shrigley’s surreal wit to the fullest. 

This autumn, join Shrigley live on stage in London and Bristol as he discusses a life making iconic art and his new foray into creative writing. He will also answer your questions in the audience Q&A.
