Insects

With their thin legs and spiky extremities, this cluster of shapes may at first glance appear to be creatures on the march or an animal swarm.


Closer inspection of the various individual elements reveals that these are not strict representations or recognisable reproductions of existing things; instead they form a tiny universe that has sprung from the artist’s imagination.


This installation comprises 413 components which when collected together also give the impression that Shrigley’s crude and funny drawings have come to life as three-dimensional figures.
