*APC ART is pleased to present “Foolish Hearts” by internationally celebrated British contemporary artist David Shrigley.*

*Few contemporary artists have managed to connect with audiences across generations quite like David Shrigley. Once an artist featured on Banksy’s legendary Pictures On Walls roster, Shrigley has completely come into his own over the last two decades and evolved into one of the most beloved contemporary artists of our time.*

*His works possess an incredibly rare quality within contemporary art — they are instantly recognizable, emotionally relatable, intellectually clever, and genuinely capable of bringing joy to the viewer.*

*Shrigley’s images, prints, sculptures, and paintings have become internationally adored for their ability to merge humor, vulnerability, awkwardness, sincerity, and absurdity into deceptively simple compositions.*

*“Foolish Hearts” is an absolutely iconic example of the visual language that has made Shrigley such a celebrated figure within contemporary art.*

*The work features a collection of animated pink hearts rendered with intentionally loose brushwork, uneven text, and childlike line quality — all stylistic motifs collectors have come to aggressively pursue from the artist.*

*At first glance the work feels playful and humorous, however beneath the surface lies a very human emotional tension that gives the composition remarkable depth.*

*The phrase “Foolish Hearts” paired with the awkwardly dancing hearts creates a work that feels simultaneously optimistic, vulnerable, melancholic, and comedic.*

*That emotional contradiction is precisely what makes Shrigley’s work resonate so deeply with collectors worldwide.*

*Importantly, Shrigley’s market and institutional recognition have continued to grow dramatically over the last decade. His works have become staples within important contemporary collections due to their cultural relevance, accessibility, and universal emotional appeal.*

*Executed as a lithograph in colors on Munken Lynx 200Gsm wove fine art paper and published by Narayana Press, Denmark in 2023, the work measures approximately 70cm x 50cm (27.6” x 19.7”) and is from the open/unknown edition.*

*This is an incredible David Shrigley work without breaking the bank.*

*An exceptional acquisition for both seasoned collectors and newer collectors entering the contemporary art market.*

*The work is in hand in the USA and will ship immediately.*

*We are pleased to offer archival framing options for our collectors worldwide.*

*Proudly offered by APC ART.*
