Weak Messages Create Bad Situations: A Manifesto

Product Information

With a casual gesture Shrigley points to that hideous shape whose name I've never known - and then he names it. And the name is profoundly, embarrassingly familiar. I'm laughing while frantically searching for a pen, so desperate to capture the feeling he has unearthed in me" (MIRANDA JULY)

Meaning: Matthew Healy used to play the drums with his father when he was just four years old, and that was the time when Matthew developed a liking for music. He always credits his parents for his music career. To express his love and feelings towards his parents, he has got their names inked on his feet. Not only this, he got the word DAD inked on his right wrist, which shows how much he is attached to his father, Timothy Healy.

I know that I am very ugly and I hope I don’t offend you but I feel compelled to tell you that you are the most beautiful creature that I have ever seen’ Pure poetry! Hilarious, stupid, meaningless and eloquent. An absolute masterpiece in demonstrating the power and uselessness of imagery and of our world.

It means communication should be done in such a way that it should not create any form of troubles for anyone.

This might be related to the lyrics of his song ‘wolves’ but no clarification has been made by him till today on this.

They don't know what the HELL is going on. Unfortunately many of these people are responsible for running THE COUNTRY. They don't know the difference between a PRECIOUS JEWEL and a piece of animal turd. Their ideas are MEANINGLESS, illustrated using RUBBISH imagery (often made by a computer). The stupid words they write are always in BAD FONTS. Image does not illustrate the text text does not describe the image/ please untie me so I can make more artwork’ Shrigley's manifesto is full of hilarity, alongside observations about the world that are both astute and absurd" ( Creative Review)Meaning: Many tattoos of Matthew Healy have been designed with colorful flowers, especially red roses, which means that he is really fond of them.

David Shrigley co-directed an animate!-commissioned film with award-winning director Chris Shepherd called Who I Am And What I Want, based on Shrigley's book of the same title. Kevin Eldon voiced its main character, Pete. He also produced a series of drawings and t-shirt designs for the 2006 Triptych festival, a Scottish music festival lasting for three to four days in three cities. He has also designed twelve different covers for Deerhoof's 2007 record, Friend Opportunity. Brims over with skew-whiff observations on the absurdity of modern life . . . Shrigley's bonkers, mordant, often joyously meaningless doodles are always oddly life-affirming Like the poet Ivor Cutler, Shrigley finds humour in flat depictions of the inconsequential, the unavailing and the bizarre - although he is far fonder of violent or otherwise disquieting subject matter. Shrigley's work has two of the characteristics often encountered in outsider art - an odd viewpoint, and (in some of his work) a deliberately limited technique. His freehand line is often weak, which jars with his frequent use of a ruler; his forms are often very crude; and annotations in his drawings are poorly executed and frequently contain crossings-out (In authentic outsider art, the artist has no choice but to produce work in his or her own way, even if that work is unconventional in content and inept in execution. In contrast, it is likely that Shrigley has chosen his style and range of subject matter for comic effect). Shrigley's comedy appears to confirm the belief of great humourists (from Laurence Sterne to Woody Allen) that laughter is synonymous with hope. In the arena of contemporary art, Shrigley's work maintains a dualism, which is rare, rewarding and ultimately generous Meaning: An unidentified numbers are inked on the right wrist of Matthew.
