As a starting point for my research on Identity within style I went to visit the Grayson Perry Exhibition which was taking place at The National Portrait Gallery on the 22nd of January.
Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry turns his attention to identity as he creates portraits - from tapestries to sculptures and pots - of diverse individuals who are all trying to define who they are. This is explored explicitly through displays of new work in the exhibition which focuses mainly on British Identity including a self-portrait and tapestry, made during his Channel 4 series Who Are You?
It features Fourteen portraits of individuals, families and groups, including politician Chris Huhne, a young female-to-male transsexual, Northern Ireland Loyalist marchers and X-Factor contestant Rylan Clark, have been inserted into the Gallery’s nineteenth and twentieth century rooms.
