David Shrigley’s work is instantly identifiable as his own. Through drawings, sculptures, videos, photographs and books, his dry humour highlights the absurdity of our everyday fears and aspirations. We visit him in his Brighton studio to learn more about his work: the influence of Dada, the appeal of the absurd, and how a sort-of-cartoonist isn’t really interested in cartoons.

Artists in Profile is a series of films that explore the ideas, materials and processes of some of the best-known contemporary artists working today. Filmed in the artists’ studios from Argyll & Bute to Berlin; in train stations, a primary school, the shore of a loch, and the Glasgow Necropolis; these videos aim to give an insight into the spaces where artists create their work, and the places that inspire them.
