Artist

Grayson Perry is an artist best known for his elaborate ceramic vases which at a distance seem classically decorative but on closer inspection are decorated with often uncomfortable scenes of modern life. He was the 2003 winner of the Turner Prize, which he accepted wearing a purple satin party frock as his transvestite alter ego Claire. Perry has also worked in printmaking, drawing, embroidery and other textiles, his latest major work being the Walthamstow Tapestry (2009) which shows the seven ages of man interspersed with contemporary brand names. He had a column in The Times and has made many appearances on television, including Question Time and Have I Got News For You.
