"In his exhibition âDelusions of Grandeurâ, Grayson Perry examines the tension between his outsider status and newfound acceptance as a Royal Academy member and media presence."
"Perry's new alter ego, Shirley Smith, embodies an impoverished woman's experience, adding depth and complexity to his commentary on societal norms and expectations."
Grayson Perry's latest exhibition, âDelusions of Grandeurâ, coincides with his 65th birthday and reflects on his journey from outsider to esteemed artist. Now a member of the Royal Academy and a knight, Perry grapples with the tension between his anti-establishment roots and his recognition in the art world. Through his alter ego Shirley Smith, an impoverished woman with a rich inner life, he examines themes of class, gender, and the experience of marginalization. The exhibition presents this narrative against a backdrop of glamor and stirring artistic expression.
