Morris, Gainsborough, Turner, Riley, 2021, by Grayson Perry

Grayson Perry is one of Britain’s most famous living artists. He is best known for his subversive ceramics and printed tapestries that interrogate what it means to be English today. By using art forms traditionally associated with grand country houses, he elevates the dramas of contemporary British life, from class and identity to money, commuting, marriage and social media. Executed in 2021, this brightly coloured tapestry references celebrated works by Morris, Gainsborough, Turner and Riley. However, in typical Perry style, their works have been digitally altered or adjusted, their colours and orientation changed within the tapestry’s rich and layered textures. It is currently on view at Victoria Miro in London as part of their solo show of Grayson Perry tapestries.
