Magical Thinking by Grayson Perry

Magical Thinking by Grayson Perry

Grayson Perry is a Turner-Prize-winning artist and national treasure, known for intricate narrative artworks that consider the biggest issues in modern society.

For this silkscreen print launched in support of the Contemporary Art Society Grayson Perry chose the subject of magic.

Magical Thinking began when Grayson encountered a painting by Cornelis de Vos at the Wallace Collection in London.

In a graphic composition inspired by traditional Russian lubki, he surrounds his own version of de Vos’ unidentified subject with a constellation of words and symbols. The work’s title references the layer of mystical subjectivity through which we each engage with reality.

Grayson worked closely with printmakers at Make-Ready in London to bring his vision to life. The result is a tactile silkscreen on bespoke textured paper with intentional irregularities – an homage to traditions from centuries ago, and a celebration of modern silkscreen printing.
