i am very beautiful (2025) is a limited edition colour screenprint by david shrigley featuring one of the artist’s characteristically awkward animal drawings alongside a statement that is both funny and unexpectedly sincere. printed in an edition of 125, the work shows a tree frog declaring its own beauty with complete confidence.
this print is classic shrigley: a slightly awkward drawing paired with a statement that is so direct it becomes difficult not to smile. the simplicity of the image is part of its appeal, with shrigley using a few loose lines and a small amount of text to create something immediately recognisable and surprisingly expressive.
what i like is the confidence of the tree frog. the declaration is completely unqualified, which gives the image its humour, but there’s also something genuinely positive about it. for me, the print works because it sits somewhere between self-belief and self-parody. shrigley lets both readings exist at the same time, which is often where his humour is strongest.
it’s playful, optimistic and instantly recognisable as one of shrigley’s animal-text works. the combination of the hand-drawn character, simple statement and generous white space gives the image the visual clarity that makes his prints work so well on the wall.
i am very beautiful is also a particularly appealing example of shrigley’s ability to turn an apparently throwaway observation into something memorable. beneath the humour, there is an uncomplicated sense of confidence and self-acceptance that gives the work a little more depth than its simplicity might initially suggest.
david shrigley has developed one of the most distinctive visual languages in contemporary british art, combining loose drawing, deadpan humour and observations of everyday life. his work has attracted an international audience across contemporary art, design and popular culture, while his limited edition prints have become an important part of his wider practice.
this edition of 125 is presented in mint condition, unframed and in its original sealed jealous gallery packaging as issued by the publisher. the print has never been framed or displayed.
