He is one of Britain’s most recognisable contemporary artists, celebrated for his deadpan drawings that mix humour, bleakness and childlike simplicity.\n\nGrowing up as a shy, introspective child, on a red-brick estate in the suburbs of Leicester, David was happiest alone with a blank sheet of paper and a pencil – fifty years later, not much has changed.\n\nHis artworks have an improvised quality, but beneath them lies a surprisingly ordered life. \n\nDavid talks openly about obsessive tendencies – anxiety, control, and the daily routines that keep him grounded. He works a reliable ten-to-six day, and ticks off each drawing as he goes.\n\nThis is a conversation about the compulsion to make things and the human need to make light of life’s absurdities.\n\nA full tour of David’s Brighton studio is available to our Patreon community.\nPatreon: http://patreon.com/HomingWithMatt\nContact:\nWeb: www.davidshrigley.com\nShop: www.shrigshop.com \nEmail: info@davidshrigley.com\n\nTo hear more from us:\n\nYouTube: Subscribe to our channel, Homing with Matt, to watch the video version\nInstagram: @homingwithmatt\nContact: Email us at hello@mattgibberd.com\n\nMatt Gibberd’s book, A Modern Way to Live, is available here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/320176/a-modern-way-to-live-by-gibberd-matt/9780241480496\n\nMusic by @simeonwalkermusic\nIdentity & design by @lena.winkler.creative.office \nProduced by @podshoponline\n\nThe full visualised tour of David’s studio is available to our Patreon community.\nPatreon: http://patreon.com/HomingWithMatt","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jfhTOve5zkBU-4TRtFPERWb8yNLRKVKLKahjrWvoDdk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNWNk/YTE1NTI1ZWQ0NjI1/MTBhNDlkOWY1ZTU1/OGM1YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
