In Focus

Grayson Perry

Over the years, Grayson Perry has become a national treasure. Storming onto the art scene in the 90s, Perry's notoriety with the masses was solidified when he won the prestigious Turner Prize in 2003.

A Perfect Match - Showing at Victoria Miro, London

You can see Grayson Perry's most recent show at Victoria Miro in London. Posh Cloths brings together a body of work spanning over the last eight years. Tapestry and textiles have been a constant method of communication throughout Perry's career and have allowed the exploration of core themes such as classical myths, religion, politics and consumerism to be depicted.

We loved it

Upon visiting Victoria Miro to see Post Cloths, you are confronted by four enormous tapestries that consume your attention for a very long time. This mastery of composition and relatability is why Perry is such a British icon in the art world.

Meet Claire

You may be more familiar with Claire, Grayson's alter ego, as she will often attend public events.
