"Brain Activity Exhibition" by David Shrigley at the Hayward Gallery


We visited the Hayward Gallery, and saw an amazing exhibition that is David Shrigley' work. Brain Activity is Shrigley’s first major survey exhibition in the UK and covers the full range of his work, extending beyond his drawings to include photography, taxidermy, sculpture, animation, painting, and music. In addition, Shrigley presents a number of new works created especially for Hayward Gallery, all of which are characterised by their varied use of humour and his abiding impulse to ‘communicate as simply and directly as possible’.

He is best known for his humorous drawings that make witty, wry and sometimes dark observations on everyday life. His deliberately crude graphic style has an immediate and accessible appeal, while simultaneously offering insightful commentary on the absurdities of human relationships. This part is really helpful for me, because my project is also about the real emotion of human and refers to research the new form to express it.

Shrigley's artwork engages our brains as much as it excites our sense of humour. There are a lot of objects and space design attracted me and give me inspiration to do my work.
