Synopsis

Grayson Perry is one of the best known artists of his generation, acclaimed for his ceramics, sculptures, drawings, prints and tapestries. With a keen eye for detail and a love of the popular and vernacular, Perry infuses his artworks with a sly humour and reflection on society past and present. The artist's highly decorated pots in particular reveal a panoply of imagery ranging from the highly personal to the political, their subjects including his own family, the art world, Biblical stories, the royal family, and images of warfare and sexual fantasy. Perry's feminine alter ego 'Claire' emerges through his practice as a recurring visual motif. He has forged a distinctive career that sits apart from the cooler theoretical approach of some of his peers, favouring a more flamboyant, accessible aesthetic that blurs the division of high art and popular culture. This volume, published to accompany Perry's first major Australian exhibition, covers the full spectrum of his practice from the early 1980s to the present, including new work.
