rave about Grayson Perry

Whilst in Sydney a couple of weekends ago, we visited the Museum of Contemporary Art at Circular Quay.
I'd read a review of British artist Grayson Perry's work and was intrigued.


Although the exhibition included his ceramic decorated vessels, sketchbooks photographs and paintings, it was his tapestries that made me gasp.

The sheer size and intricacy of detail was amazing. Here's one end of this piece..

..and here's Paul at the other end.

Social commentaries, stories and the artist's perspective on such things was very strong in all his pieces.

Glorious of suburban middle class life.

No visit to a gallery is complete without a reflective cup of coffee.
It doesn't hurt when the view is this good as well.
