Angel of the South
2005
A towering, elaborately decorated ceramic vase by British artist Grayson Perry, "Angel of the South" blends Perry's signature folk-art aesthetic with bold, intricate imagery drawn from contemporary British culture and identity. The work likely features Perry's characteristic layered narratives, combining text, figures, and symbolic motifs fired and etched into the glazed surface. As a counterpoint to Antony Gormley's iconic "Angel of the North," Perry's piece reimagines the idea of a northern landmark through his distinctly personal and provocative artistic lens.
