Vibes

David Shrigley’s Vibes (2018) radiates hypnotic energy through a sequence of concentric, hand-painted pink stripes that draw the eye inward toward a central word: “VIBES.” Both graphic and playful, the work uses optical rhythm and saturated color to evoke a state of ironic zen. At once decorative and deadpan, the piece captures Shrigley’s talent for turning simple visual language into a punchy emotional statement.
