Grayson Perry Grayson Perry Grayson Perry (born 24 March 1960) is an English contemporary artist. He is known for his ceramic vases, tapestries and cross-dressing, as well as his observations of the contemporary arts scene, and for dissecting British "prejudices, fashions and foibles". Perry's vases have classical forms and are decorated in bright colours, depicting subjects at odds with their attractive appearance. There is a strong autobiographical element in his work, in which images of Perry as "Claire", his female alter-ego, and "Alan Measles", his childhood teddy bear, often appear. He has made a number of documentary television programmes and has curated

Sheene is also featured on a vase by ceramic artist Grayson Perry entitled "My Heroes" created in 1994. The following is a list of results achieved by Sheene. Barry Sheene Barry Steven Frank Sheene
