Artist research: Grayson Perry
Grayson Perry is an English contemporary artist born in 1960 24th march who is well known for his ceramic vases and tapestries.
my favorite piece of art from Grayson Perry is ‘The adoration of the cage fighters’.In the center of the tapestry is a baby in the arms of his mother,this is like a modern interpretation of Madonna and child scene from Christian iconography.The scene is set in his grandmothers house with everything colorfully decorated. The mother seems to be occupied by her phone it appears while the baby is trying to get her attention.It seems like the mother is texting the ladies across from her to go on a night out and is not paying any attention to the baby and they seem to be waiting for the mother .
I absolutely love this tapestry with the the bright colors and meaning behind it
Grayson Perry is also famous for his cross dressing, after many years of experimenting with wearing woman's clothes he came up with his alter ego ‘CLAIRE’ he says he does this for his creative drive.
