Grayson Perry, London. (2023) Photograph by John Angerson Studio

Title - Artist, Grayson Perry, Hackney, London, UK. 2012
Additional information - This image was commissioned by the London Times Saturday Magazine. Angerson was tasked to create a portrait of the renowned artist Grayson Perry. He poses with his cherished 60-year-old childhood teddy bear called ‘Alan Measles’. It was named after his best friend Alan who was a neighbour and the "Measles" part came from Alan's comforting presence when Perry, aged three, was ill in bed with measles. The bear, worn and threadbare from years of love, serves as a poignant symbol of Perry's enduring creativity and the childlike wonder that fuels his artistic genius.
