Note du spécialiste

David Shrigley’s Metal Flag is rendered in the artist’s characteristic comic type, creating faux naïf works. Metal Flag undercuts the apparent seriousness usually associated with written statements on flags: on the reverse, the inscription “No Wind Shall Govern It” ironically plays on the work’s material of metal making it impervious to the wind.
