The Most Popular Art Exhibition Ever!

Most people will have guessed this is about the Grayson Perry exhibition at the Arnolfini
which runs until 24 December. It's a truly impressive display of Perry's most recent artworks organised by the Serpentine Gallery and showing for the fist time outside London. The exhibition extends over 3 floors, and there's also a chance to view his recently broadcast films to delve deeper into the ideas behind the exhibition on the second floor.
The ground floor exhibits explore what makes a man, and examines masculinity, I'll include the photos I took:
 Above Grayson on a bicycle welcomes one into the exhibition, and below a custom made motor bike that Grayson rode from Chelmsford to Bavaria.
 There's a shrine for a teddy bear on the back of the bike.
 On the first floor, there's the result of the last decade's investigation into what it means to be British, including new work in response to the impact of Brexit.
 Above this pot was called 'Alan Measles and Claire visit the Rust Belt, 2017, I liked this side depicting Teresa May, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn
 And here's a nude self portrait of the artist in his studio
 This piece below made out of pebbles and nails was delightful
 Below one of the 'Brexit' pots.
 The view from the Arnolfini is also delightful
 I loved the exhibition, and am going again very soon, there's far too much to take in during one visit.
The Arnolfini was packed with people having a great time when I was there, do go.
