We are lucky to have Grayson Perry on show at the 20 21 Arts Centre at the moment, one of my favourite artists. I had a quick pop in when I was in town last week. The Vanity of Small Differences is six large tapestries which explore taste and class. I need to go back and study them closely but I have time, it's on till the 9th of September. I only wish he would visit in person, but I very much doubt it. I follow him on Twitter and he is always busy.
Here is a page from the British Council web site which gives more information.
I have found a video on yoootooob, well worth a look.
I'll leave you to it, thanks for popping in. ilona
Lovely photos Ilona of a great exhibition! (Will check out the link for further details, thanks for sharing!)
ReplyDeleteThere's more to his art than the pictures. I admit I had never heard of him but having looked at these pictures, I have googled him and researched his work. I am fascinated.
ReplyDeleteI was in an art gallery with my son recently. We were killing some time before getting our train home. A lady was admiring a painting. She suddenly burst into tears. I asked her if she was ok, she confirmed she was, the emotion in the painting just got to her she said.
I suppose art can affect us all differently.
I love Grayson Perry-I occasionally talk to an artist when I walk my dogs & she has shown me some of her art on her phone & it's similar style to his-she explained it all to me.She said she can paint flowers & animals but preferred complex stuff x
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I would love to see these up close....
