格雷森·佩里于1960年出生于埃塞克斯郡的切姆斯福德，8岁的时候就展现出“陶艺”和“易装”的才华。进入大学后，在艺术院校自由的氛围下，他的癖好暗中得到鼓励。他将自己变成一个叫“克莱尔”的女孩，拍摄各种自己穿女装的照片。并选择陶器作为材质，以“克莱尔”为题材，进行各种陶瓷绘画装饰创作。他是英国十分受欢迎的当代艺术家、伦敦艺术大学校长格雷森·佩里为对艺术感兴趣的普通大众写的一本当代艺术入门指南。
他曾受邀在2013年英国BBC第四频道《里斯讲座》中介绍艺术品如何进入市场，演讲内容广受好评。 全书文笔幽默生动，语言简练。作为身处当代艺术世界多年的权威人士，格雷森·佩里反而希望带领大众打破权威，力图让没有足够学术和历史知识的普通人也能欣赏艺术，在艺术中生活。书中涉及内容广泛，从什么是艺术、如何判断一件物品是否属于艺术，到艺术与金钱的关系、艺术品在市场中的流通方式，再到如何客观看待艺术家、评论家、媒体对艺术的态度。
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
