KATHARINA GROSSE b. 1961, Lives and works in Berlin

Katharina Grosse is one of the most inventive and intriguing painters working today. Through a fusion of painting with architecture and sculpture, Grosse produces a physically immersive experience for the viewer, choosing to work directly onto walls and objects using an industrial spray gun. Her spray painted works enliven surfaces as vast and unorthodox as building exteriors, disused bunkers and massive dirt piles, as intimate as her own bed, bookshelves and clothing, as conventional as a stretched canvas or paper. Her method draws from a combination of art historical traditions—from fresco, plein-air painting, Abstract Expressionism and street graffiti.

Colour is essential to Grosse and she achieves intense, visceral arrangements through careful blending and application of primary and secondary colours. Each hue has the function of distinguishing between different movements and her extremely physical process of application is reflected within the pictorial space.

Born and based in Germany, Grosse’s work has been commissioned by institutions around the world, including Amsterdam’s De Appel, Paris’ Palais de Tokyo, The Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas, UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, and the Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), Brisbane.
