British artist David Shrigley is set to present a major solo exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, running from May 25 to September 5, 2027.

The exhibition will feature a selection of new works created specifically for the gallery, displayed alongside historic paintings from the museum’s collection.

Works by artists including Rembrandt, Jan Steen, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, and Adriaen Brouwer will be presented alongside Shrigley’s contemporary drawings and paintings.
