格雷森·佩裡于1960年出生于埃塞克斯郡的切姆斯福德，8歲的時候就展現出“陶藝”和“易裝”的才華。進入大學後，在藝術院校自由的氛圍下，他的癖好暗中得到鼓勵。他将自己變成一個叫“克萊爾”的女孩，拍攝各種自己穿女裝的照片。并選擇陶器作為材質，以“克萊爾”為題材，進行各種陶瓷繪畫裝飾創作。他是英國十分受歡迎的當代藝術家、倫敦藝術大學校長格雷森·佩裡為對藝術感興趣的普通大衆寫的一本當代藝術入門指南。
他曾受邀在2013年英國BBC第四頻道《裡斯講座》中介紹藝術品如何進入市場，演講内容廣受好評。 全書文筆幽默生動，語言簡練。作為身處當代藝術世界多年的權威人士，格雷森·佩裡反而希望帶領大衆打破權威，力圖讓沒有足夠學術和曆史知識的普通人也能欣賞藝術，在藝術中生活。書中涉及内容廣泛，從什麼是藝術、如何判斷一件物品是否屬于藝術，到藝術與金錢的關系、藝術品在市場中的流通方式，再到如何客觀看待藝術家、評論家、媒體對藝術的态度。
Grayson Perry is best known for his ceramics, which draw on both the aesthetics of classical pottery and on contemporary iconography. He often references his feminine alter ego “Claire,” who has appeared throughout the rest of his extensive oeuvre as well—Perry also makes textiles, sculptures, and installations, and he has written graphic novels and spearheaded a broadcast television program. Some of Perry’s major themes include the roles of gender, class, taste, and religion in contemporary life, particularly in the United Kingdom. Perry studied at Portsmouth Polytechnic (now the University of Portsmouth) and quickly became ingrained in Britain’s contemporary art scene. He has exhibited in London, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, and beyond. He won the Turner Prize in 2003.
Map of Nowhere by Grayson Perry is a highly detailed etching that attempts to map out key concepts and concerns in contemporary western life
