Greyson Perry Reflection...

In Greyson Perry’s short series “All in the best possible taste”, he gave me an insight into how a successful artist conducts research, discovers inspiration and how he combines the two to create something incredible. In his tapestries Perry was inspired by his favourite painter, Hogarth who was painting in the 18th century so Perry modernised the concept of Hogarth’s “A Rake’s progress” and brought to light the social constructs of today. Focusing on “Class” and the different “tasks” in those separate section of society. he concluded by stating that just because someone doesn’t have the same taste as you, does not mean they have bad taste. 

As a contemporary practitioner Greyson Perry focuses on the mode of meaning behind his work- he says in the programme he doesn’t mind that his tapestry are created by modern technologies and not hand-crafted. The visual image, the story and messages behind the tapestries are the crucial elements to Perry’s work- and I feel his work is a socially engaged textile art project because of the involvement of the public in the initial research and despite them not creating any of the physical work they were the big influences in the grand scheme of the art pieces.
