TALK: Artist Grayson Perry at Shoreham’s Ropetackle Arts Centre

October 28) at 7.30pm.

The book is the first major monograph on the artist, from writer and art historian Jacky Klein.

Perry, renowned for his ceramic vases decorated with shocking and unconventional imagery, is one of a generation of contemporary British artists to have emerged on the international stage since the early 1990s.

He shot to fame in 2003 when he won the prestigious Turner Prize, collecting the award wearing a lilac babydoll dress and red pumps.

Spokesman Ben Parker said: “His hard-hitting yet exquisite work, which includes prints, embroidery, sculpture and drawing as well as pots, references his own upbringing and his life as a transvestite while also engaging with broader issues, from war and religion to politics and sex.”
