"Magical Thinking" is a silkscreen print by British artist Grayson Perry, created in collaboration with Avant Arte to support the Contemporary Art Society (CAS).
The artwork draws inspiration from a painting by Cornelis de Vos at the Wallace Collection in London. Perry reimagines de Vos' unidentified subject, placing them within a composition influenced by traditional Russian lubki—a style of popular print characterized by bold graphics and narratives. The piece is adorned with a constellation of words and symbols, reflecting the concept of 'magical thinking,' which refers to the subjective and mystical ways individuals interpret reality.
