Autorenporträt

Turner Prize winner Grayson Perry uses the seductive qualities of ceramics, tapestry, metalwork and other art forms to make stealthy comments about societal injustices and hypocrisies, and to explore a variety of historical and contemporary themes. Perry is a great chronicler of contemporary life, drawing his audience in with wit, affecting sentiment and nostalgia as well as fear and anger. He has had many major solo exhibitions around the world and he has also curated a number of exhibitions. He is a Royal Academician.
