Grayson Perry

OK, so he's the transvestite artist but he's also, if I had to pick one, the most compelling important artist around at the moment.  Just when you think he must be burned out soon he comes up with probably his greatest work - a series of tapestries (currently on view at the Victoria Miro) that resulted from his TV series exploring taste and class in 21st century Britain.  Intelligent, insightful and charming he makes an impressive presenter - but it is those final art works that make him something special.  Deffo a national treasure in my view.
