// Simple Consumer by Tony Cragg is a limited-edition lithograph created in 1996, reflecting Cragg's fascination with the relationship between humans and consumption. In this work, Cragg employs dynamic, swirling black brushstrokes to create an abstract form that suggests entangled shapes and possibly hints at a face or mouth, with visible teeth appearing to bite or consume. The piece embodies a chaotic energy, capturing the tension and complexity of modern consumer culture. Printed in an edition of 30 and measuring 47.5 cm by 46 cm, the artwork invites viewers to reflect on the often overwhelming nature of consumption and materialism in contemporary life.

What is new British Sculpture?
New British Sculpture is the name referring to the work produced by a group of sculptors, installation artists, and other creators who exhibited together in London during the 1980s. This group included artists like Richard Deacon, Richard Wentworth, and Tony Cragg. Tim Woods helped define this movement by identifying four major themes: the blending of kitsch and pop culture, the use of UK urban waste in a bricolage style, the assignment of new meanings to everyday objects, and a playful approach using wit and humor.
