"For his first survey exhibition in France, the celebrated British artist Grayson Perry presents works in mediums such as ceramics, bronze, printmaking and tapestry, using the seductive qualities of these traditional forms to put over complex ideas about universal topics like identity, gender, social class, sexuality and religion. In this catalogue, Perry puts pen to paper to shed further light on the subjects and issues he addresses in his work. His texts reveal both his own psychological make-up and his artistic motivation. So who is Grayson Perry? A transvestite, a feminist, a virtuoso draughtsman, an artist who casts an anthropological eye on contemporary life ... a man who, in his own words, strives 'to make my work accessible to a wide audience' and who insists that 'difficult ideas and entertainment are not mutually exclusive'."--Page 4 of cover.
