About The Skateroom:

Founded in 2013 by the Belgian Charles-Antoine Bodson, The Skateroom makes limited editions of art on skateboards from major contemporary artists and foundations. Significative parts of their proceeds help fund NGOs of their choice.

For this new collaboration, Grayson Perry has waivered his remnueration in addition to 20% of the profits to fund the Skate & Create program from Skateroom's long-term NGO partner Skateistan.

Skateistan is an award-winning international non-profit organization empowering children and youth through skateboarding and education in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa. Through their innovative programs, Outreach, Skate and Create, Back-to-School and Youth Leadership, Skateistan aims to give youth the opportunity to become leaders for a better world.

... when I was asked by The Skateroom to design a board, I was very aware of the social context of any image I were to place on one... The combination of waning street credibility and doing "good works" seemed to slip in easily amongst the themes of this exhibition... Grayson Perry, for The Skateroom

Artist

Grayson Perry

Sir Grayson Perry (b. 1960) is an English contemporary artist, writer and broadcaster. 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 exhibitions. He has published two autobiographies, Grayson Perry: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl (2007) and The Descent of Man (2016), written and illustrated a graphic novel, Cycle of Violence (2012), written a book about art, Playing to the Gallery (2014), and published his illustrated Sketchbooks (2016). Various books describing his work have been published. In 2013 he delivered the BBC Reith Lectures.
