Cotton fabric and embroidery appliqué, handmade flag - Signed on accompanying COA // Grayson Perry's Gay Black Cats M.C. is a vibrant tapestry created in 2017 using mixed media, including cotton fabric and embroidery appliqué. This handmade flag features bold, playful imagery, with two black cats at its center, riding motorcycles and surrounded by dynamic motifs like arrows, stars, and a whimsical mix of cultural references. The bright color palette, with striking pinks, reds, and oranges, contrasts with black and other darker tones, giving the piece a strong visual impact. Perry's signature exploration of identity, subcultures, and social commentary is evident, as the title invokes a fictional motorcycle club, perhaps playing on themes of belonging and outsider status. The composition feels like a celebration of diversity and non-conformity, with a touch of humor and rebellious spirit.

What is Kitsch?
Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
