About Grayson Perry
Born in Chelmsford, Essex in 1960, Grayson Perry became interested in art through painting and later discovered a love for pottery, which allowed him to merge traditional craft with contemporary ideas. He received an education at Portsmouth Polytechnic college and became known in the 1980s as an artist who blurred the line between personal narrative and the wider cultural critique. Perry’s persona known as Claire, and his use of alter-ego and femininity, became part of his public and artistic identity that impacted the ideas of gender and identity in his work. Perry won the United Kingdom’s Turner Prize in 2003, and since then, he has achieved a significant international reputation and has had milestone exhibitions at institutions including the British Museum (The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman, 2011) and the Serpentine Gallery. Perry’s work often includes autobiographical elements, biting political satire and contemporary reflections on the British experience.
