In 2006, Shrigley's first spoken word album Shrigley Forced to Speak With Others was released by Azuli Records, under their Late Night Tales label. [41] [42] Whilst Shrigley claims that one’s response to his work is always correct, “whatever that may be or whatever my intention was”, his installation work and sculptures often carry an alternate meaning.

So, now, he lets other people riffle through his art and choose what they want to publish or exhibit. Including the cats. Today, David Shrigley’s art is recognisable for his satirical drawings, which explore the mundane through a childlike wonder and incisive sense of humour. Shrigley prefers to point to the formal structure of his work, and the philosophical humour it embodies. He likes to think he has a lot in common with a friend, the conceptual artist Martin Creed. Imitating him, he puts on a deliberately bad Scottish accent: “Aye, so I’ve got this hat, right, and it’s a square hat because hats aren’t square most of the time. And that’s why I wear the square hat.” Shrigley has had several notable solo exhibitions for his iconic visual art, including "David Shrigley" at Dundee Contemporary Arts (2006), "Everything Must Have a Name" at the Malmo Konsthall in Sweden (2007), an exhibition at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead (2008), the Museum Ludwig in Cologne (2008), "New Powers" at the Kunsthalle Mainz in Germany (2009), the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow (2010) and "Animate" at the Turku Art Museum in Finland (2011). When I’m seeing how word and image fit together – which is my thing, right? – it’s a bit like a child learning how to speak.” Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp: they were the artists I wanted to be. It was the otherness of that thought process

He is clearly someone with good reasons to be content. Yet Shrigley’s deepest happiness appears to lie in his creativity. His drawing and painting skills are, he freely confesses, “limited”. But he loves making his marks on paper, can’t stop doing it, and has organised his life so he can sit here undisturbed, drawing and painting away. Shrigley's work has been exhibited widely, including solo shows at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. In 2013, he was nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize for his solo show David Shrigley: Brain Activityat the Hayward Gallery in London.

It’s the same reason he enjoys his more interactive work – inviting people to draw a giant urinating sculpture as part of his Turner prize show, opening pop-up tattoo parlours so people can have his doodles inked on to them, or inventing a bunch of strangely shaped instruments – such as a one-stringed electric guitar – and getting musicians to play them. One of his musical heroes, Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo, recruited a bunch of avant garde musicians and terrorised a New York restaurant with Shrigley’s instruments. What did it sound like?

George Orwell, I think, always intended it to be a warning,” he said. “It wasn’t necessarily a parable of an existing state, but it was kind of a warning of what can happen when we don’t value our democracy.

People read their own messages into them regardless. “You think you’re making a work about the climate crisis and then it becomes about the pandemic, because that’s what everyone’s thinking about.

Discussing his plan with the Guardian in 2021, Shrigley said, with a hint of mischief: “I’ve acquired 5,000 copies of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, and I’m pulping them all. Then I’m making paper with it and on that paper I’m reprinting an edition of Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.

I suspect Shrigley himself will be a beneficiary of the charity too. He says he’s spent his career feeling “not like a fraud, but … a bit selfish, like I’m just pleasing myself and enjoying my life far too much.” Recently he’s been reading about people who have overcome chronic pain through their artistic endeavours. “This one woman was really suffering with an arthritic condition, she was basically incapacitated. Then she joined a choir and the pain went. The doctors don’t know how it works, they just told her to keep doing it.” I was a bit jaded about making the same exhibition over and over again’ … a detail of Shrigley’s exhibition.
