Artist Grayson Perry to paint portraits of modern alternative families

Joe Evans an arts documentary producer is currently working with the Turner-prize winning artist Grayson Perry on a new series about portraiture for Channel 4. For this series, Grayson wants to capture the truth about modern British identity by doing a series of portraits of people whose stories tell us something important about whom we are now. To make the portraits, Grayson will spend time with his subjects, talking in detail about their lives, and really trying to understand who they are. The portraits Grayson makes will form part of an exhibition which we hope will tour several major art galleries around Britain. Joe is seeking to contact couples or individuals embarking on the search for an egg or sperm donor, and who ultimately would like co-parent with the donor. If you are about to embark on this journey, are interested in this project, and feel comfortable discussing the possibility of us documenting your experiences for TV, then please do email joeevans@senecaproductions.com or contact us at Pride Angel for more information.
