The second in our series of limited edition prints, It’s OK by David Shrigley is a rare example of a linocut by the artist. Here the words ‘It’s OK’ hover above a modernist pattern of straight lines. The print’s graphic boldness and unapologetic simplicity remind us of the artist’s hand at work. The interlocking lines are uneven with an unselfconscious freedom and the text has an inherent naivety about its scrawl. This work is rich with Shrigley’s trademark style and mordant humour, his directness of approach being manifested in both method and message.
