People of #Bluesky welcome to #Artstr #Art club.

Grayson Perry. Inspired by The Arnolfini Portrait 1434 by Jan Van Eyck. This tapestry is inspired by the artist’s visit to an area in south east England, which reportedly had the highest average household income in the UK. The kitchen table at the centre is like a still life of objects showing Tim’s middle class wealth: organic vegetables, a cafetière of coffee, a jug of fresh flowers and homemade jam. Tim’s computer software business has been very successful and the headlines on the newspaper on the table and on the iPad announce that he has just sold his company to a billionaire businessman for a large amount of money. Grayson thought it refreshing to use tapestries -traditionally a symbol of the rich to depict a commonplace drama within working class areas and produce a social commentary on the current generation. The victory tapestries of John Churchill at Blenheim Palace also inspired this work.
