9 colour silkscreen on bespoke 410gsm Somerset White Rough Textured M-R 100% cotton paper. Signed and numbered.
'The Changeling' by Grayson Perry is a silkscreen measuring 75 × 60.2 cm. Against a vivid red ground, a contorted figure — part human, part folkloric grotesque — writhes mid-air, its body painted in orange, lavender and cream. Swarming around it are black birds, each labelled with a contemporary anxiety: 'Doomscrolling', 'A.I. Slop', 'Algorithmic determinism', 'Gamified dating', 'Diagnosis as identity'. A devil looms in a yellow cloud at upper right, while the lower register shifts into a pastoral scene rendered in teal, magenta and cream, populated by Victorian-era figures. A decorative border of occult-inflected symbols frames the whole composition. Perry — known for ceramic vases and tapestries that fold autobiography, cultural critique and art-historical pastiche into a single surface — applies the same strategy here: the medieval allegory of demonic possession becomes a taxonomy of digital-age pressures, with the labelling device forcing the viewer to read the image as both image and text simultaneously.

What is Kitsch?
Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
