More on Grayson Perry
Description from Wikipedia:
Grayson Perry, (born 1960), is an English artist, known mainly for his ceramic vases and cross-dressing. He works in several media. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003, the first ceramic artist and public transvestite to receive it. Perry's vases have classical forms and are decorated in bright colours. The subjects depicted on them are often at odds with their attractive appearance: e.g., child abuse and sado-masochism and comments on social and sexual practices. There is a strong autobiographical element in his work, in which images of Perry as "Claire", his female alter-ego, often appear.
