Yesterday was the opening exhibition of “Small Differences” works of iconic British artist Grayson Perry at the Pera Museum Istanbul.
I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this exhibition. Grsyson Perry is one of my favourite artists. Like Perry, I have an interest in the everyday life of society. Perry’s main themes are class and consumerism, religion and ideas around belief and identity.
“Turkey is a country that has such a rich and alive traditional culture compared to Britain. I piggy back a lot of my work on an amalgamation of various local cultures from around the globe. .. I’m a node in a web of influences, and through the things that inspire me in museums and art books, I draw in connections from lots of different cultures” Grayson Perry.
I couldn’t have described this better than Grayson Perry.

Yes. Your drawings exude happiness. Not so easy in today’s world. Keep drawing to put smiles on our faces. It is a rare and precious gift. 👍

You are right. This is not my favourite of his works. Too much gore.

We might differ on this one. ‘Not sure I like his style. Maybe because the scenes are a tad dramatic?
(And there’s enough blood on the news?)
I’ll have to see it for myself.
