Born in Chelmsford, England in 1960, Grayson Perry CBE RA is celebrated for his ceramics, printed tapestries, printmaking, design and cast iron and bronze works. Perry cynically observes the complexities of class, taste and decorum and though his work is often satirical in mood, it simultaneously inspires nostalgic sentiment.

Perry draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, including historical and contemporary society and an amalgamation of different global cultural practices that range from Eastern European folk art to Japanese screens. Though his work is often witty and humorous in approach, it paradoxically contains images of violence and other disturbing social issues, as well tackling subjects that are universally recognizable such as identity, gender, social status, sexuality and religion.
