This beautiful silkscreen, “To Hell with Zoos, free the penguin’s first” was produced in 2020, a time when most of the country (and world) was in lockdown due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Here we see Shrigley play around with the idea of humans being locked up, showing a very human-like penguin walking freely.
Shrigley's art is a masterclass in finding the humour in life's everyday moments. With his distinctive wit, Shrigley's art is a breath of fresh air in the world of contemporary art. His unique perspective and small runs of limited-edition prints make his works highly sought after and collectable.
