Grayson Perry and power of making are quite
different points of art concepts. I can say Grayson Perry’s work is a kind of fine
art. These days, fine art is an abstract work. Normally fine
art places a large focus on creating a pure at base which means it can be a
problem as you don’t even have to know about technique. For example, if I have ideas
and understanding of a general fundamental concept, I can do fine art. Also, Grayson Perry said ‘Do not look too hard
for meaning here. I am not a historian, I am an artist. I think that
within fine art the most important thing is me. This is because; normally
artists are not bothered by other people’s opinions…because work is coming from
my mind. However we can judge. We have different points of viewpoints and it
depends on how you see that.
On the other hand, if I have only ideas I
could not create crafts. Craftsmen are those who make things
skillfully with their hands. Craftsmen make three dimensional rather than two
dimensional items. However, craftsmen
place a greater importance on how they manage their techniques. In my opinion,
Grayson Perry work is not a very serious art work. His work is very enjoyable
art work. However, power of making was somewhat calculating as in the Power of
making exhibition, in one of the techniques one of the art works was made of
knitting to make a bear. The Artist (Craftsmen) definitely needed to
plan how they were going to create using knitting and reinterpretation. Craftsman who present at
power of making exhibition that they made a percentage of the completion of theirs
work technics. However, on the other hand, Grayson
Perry is a deeply inventive art work. These
have something in common with making art works.
