Linocut on Somerset 300 gr paper - Signed, numbered and dated on the front // David Shrigley's I Am The Moth, You Are The Flame (2022) is a limited edition linocut print that combines his signature wit and simplicity. The black and white composition features a moth hovering near a candle flame, accompanied by the text I AM THE MOTH at the top and YOU ARE THE FLAME at the bottom. The bold, hand-drawn lines and stark contrast give the piece a graphic, almost poster-like quality. Shrigley's work often explores themes of existential humor and human emotions, and this piece reflects the idea of attraction and danger, evoking the symbolic relationship between the moth and the flame. The simplicity of the design, combined with the poignant message, creates an engaging and thought-provoking visual experience.
