Grayson Perry

I went to the Margate Museum.
There is an exhibition about Grayson Perry.
Before I went there, I wondered why he use ceramic because his work looks like just draw picture on the ceramic pot, and the shape of pot is normal.
However, I was surprised at his works when I looked them with my eyes.
I realised he has great talent at choose material. He understood well what emotion comes from texture. For example, carpet remind us the old carpet with myth or something old stories and etching remind traditional etching for describe important things. Moreover, the some of  3D texture on the pot likes iron, or  there are gold texture with feeling some special. Furthermore, there is a work shaped skeleton. The teeth of this has deep cleavage so this likes really old teeth and this skeleton becomes grave. I think he use all material what he wants.

A key aspect of Perry's work is cheep. For example, he made the work that made from cloth and draw the humans life from born from women and go to the hell like Hieronymus Bosch.
There are a lot of names of famous brand in the world near all characters. There is no connection and no reason between what character and what brand. He just put names. It show these names light as the name of human. We remember brand name as it has huge power in this society, but he ignore the meaning of brand's name deliberately. Some girl named Nokia and Some boy named Chanel, but the importance of the name is deal with the same in his picture.
This feature is same on another picture. He draw the map of his body and there are lots of name of appetite or emotion. For instance, there are  words like love, money, sleepy, envy, and angry. However, there is a no connection between each emotion! Usually, people deal with those emotion as it is really important. Some of artists connects contradiction emotion like love with hate, envy, but Perry drew the names just it is a name.
In addition, on his ceramic work, he drew very personal opinions like 'I hate the man who doing soccer'. He deals his personal emotion with the traditional technique. There is a gap what I look at moment and when I look carefully and read words. I think it is really interesting attempt, and it is new way of thinking what is the important of the world.

Moreover, I am impressed at the film work. I like this because it is really hand-made. The act of actor is amateur and the technique of edit is not high. In this film, there is a chicken and rose petals come down suddenly, but the movement of flower is really human-hand. Audience can understand someone sprinkle petals from outside of screen. However, I like this tendency. Nowadays, film is made extremely high quality but Perry tried to make film with his hands as his other artworks.
