Painter Katharina Grosse deals with the question: what type of reality
is painting? She asks this question through a series of others: What is
the place of painting? What are the relations between paint, colour and
their support? What are the differences between painting and picture?
How does painting relate to the painter on one side and the spectator
on the other?
The means she has developed to ask such questions is
spray painting in violent colours and far-reaching movements that cross
all parts of a given architectural setting, including furniture,
clothing, soil, geometric objects, paintings, etc.Grosse reframes the
basic question of painting through a language that is completely out of
the ordinary and borders on the spectacular.
