Grayson Perry's Between Kitsch and Shit, 2005, glazed ceramic vase featuring black drawings of figures and reddish designs on a pale green background.

Glazed Ceramic // Grayson Perry's Between Kitsch and Shit is a ceramic work that encapsulates his signature blend of humor, social commentary, and intricate craftsmanship. This glazed ceramic vase features a range of figures and motifs, intricately drawn in black against a soft, pale green background. The surface of the vase is decorated with scenes that appear to be both playful and subversive, using contrasting reddish tones to emphasize sections of the design. Perry’s work often plays with the boundary between fine art and kitsch, and this piece does just that, examining the intersection of taste, culture, and societal norms through its provocative imagery. The vase’s bulbous form adds to its tactile quality, while the detailed illustrations invite the viewer to explore the layers of narrative inscribed on its surface. This piece highlights Perry's talent for using traditional forms to challenge contemporary ideas of art, taste, and value.

What is action painting?

Action Painting is a style of painting where the physical act of creating art—such as gestural brushstrokes, splashing or dripping paint, or moving and dancing while applying paint—is considered essential to the artwork itself. This approach emphasizes the artist's movement and spontaneity as integral to the creative process.
