Grayson Perry exhibition at Sydney’s MCA

Comfort BlanketThe Walthamstow Tapestry (2009) Grayson PerrDetail from Comfort BlanketBritain in Best - Grayson Perry

If you are anywhere near Sydney it is well worth a visit to the MCA to see ‘Grayson Perry – My Pretty Little Art Career.’It is the artists’ first major exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere and is a colourful collection of his ceramics, prints, paintings, sculptures, sketchbooks and of course his tapestries.Each of the nine tapestries is a visual feast of cultural, political and artistic references. If you missed his ‘The Vanity of Small Differences,’ exhibition, they are all here, as is the astonishingly huge 15 m ‘The Walthamstow Tapestry.’ It was also lovely to see the quirky ‘Britain is Best,’ which stood out to me as it is hand embroidered. It is a real treat to see textiles on such a large scale both physically and popularity wise. For more images visit our Pinterest page.

Grayson Perry – My Pretty Little Art Career runs until 1st May 2016.
