View in a Room

Pigment Print printed on 300gsm cotton panama - Signed on the COA. Co-published by Victoria Miro Gallery and Paragon, London.

England as Seen During Lockdown From Islington (2022) by Grayson Perry is a richly detailed pigment print that overlays a fictional map of England with whimsical, satirical commentary. Created during the COVID-19 lockdown, this work reflects Perry’s signature blend of wit, social critique, and visual intricacy. Rivers and motorways snake through a landscape dotted with humorous place names and references to British cultural identity. The map is rendered on floral-patterned cotton panama, adding a layer of domestic familiarity and historical texture. It captures Perry’s perspective on national introspection during a time of isolation and upheaval, offering a dense visual narrative of contemporary England.

Grayson Perry (UK, 1960) is a celebrated contemporary artist and Turner Prize winner known for his provocative ceramics, tapestries, and multimedia works. Often exploring themes of identity, gender, and societal norms, Perry uses humor and craftsmanship to challenge perceptions. His alter ego, Claire, features prominently in his artistic narrative.

Art is not some fun add-on to life.
- Grayson Perry

Renowned for his unorthodox expression, Grayson Perry is an artist whose most notable works include printed tapestries and ceramic vases that explore both historical and contemporary themes, as well as featuring autobiographical references to his own life, and that of his transvestite alter-ego, Claire. Among Perry’s most acclaimed works is Aspects of Myself, a ceramic vessel featuring several different figures, some altogether innocent, and others - such as a bound and gagged woman - more sinister; Perry has confirmed that these figures depict various different aspects of his own personality. In creating his ceramic works, Perry refers to the ceramic traditions of folk art and Greek pottery while using the traditional coiling method to create the final shape, he then fires in a kiln several times in order to transfer the image and finish with a lustre glaze.

What is Queer Aesthetics?

Queer Aesthetics refers to an art movement that emerged in the 1980s, focusing on themes of homosexuality, lesbianism, and broader issues of identity and gender. This movement gained momentum in the context of the AIDS crisis and the feminist movement, challenging traditional representations of sexuality and gender. Queer Aesthetics often explores the fluidity of gender and identity, as seen in the works of artists like Nan Goldin, who is known for her photography of individuals with ambiguous or non-conforming gender presentations.
