Since winning the Turner Prize in 2003, Grayson Perry has become as famous for his monumental tapestries and outrageous dress designs as his richly decorated ceramic vases. Behind the allure of the colourful and brazen decoration in his works, however, lies a wry commentary on the darker aspects of society - such as child abuse, social hierarchies and environmental disaster.
Bringing us closer to both the artist and the themes that mark his work, Sketchbooks is a first-time collection of drawings which demonstrates the evolution of Grayson's creative processes as well as his career, following his journey from art school to the present day. With over 100 double-page illustrations selected by the artist himself, this is a funny, revealing and personal book that bursts at the seams with gorgeous art.
