- Episode #218: Shown in her studio and at Johann König Gallery (both in Berlin), artist Katharina Grosse discusses her use of color when painting on three-dimensional and flat surfaces. "I like this anarchic potential of color," says Grosse, who paints very rapidly with an industrial spray gun. Grosse explains that despite an early interest in language and reading, she was attracted to painting because of its non-linear qualities. She elaborates further saying that painting "compresses time, shortening the process of thinking and acting." Among the works featured is an exhibition of the artist's paintings on paper at Johann König Gallery in Berlin.
Katharina Grosse is a painter who often employs electrifying sprayed acrylic colors to create large-scale sculptural environments and smaller wall works. By uniting a fluid perception of landscape with the ordered hierarchy of painting, Grosse treats both architecture and the natural world as an armature for expressive compositions of dreamy abandon, humorous juxtaposition, and futuristic flair. By building up layers of color with an expressive immediacy, she enables her work to become a material record of its own making and, perhaps, an inscription of her thoughts.

"I like this anarchic potential of color. Color is actually taking away the boundary of the object, so there is no subject-object relationship anymore. That's maybe what color has the potential to make us think."

Some interesting views and observations. I, too, have experienced a disconnect between reading and artwork. Thanks.
Marjorie Fowler me too! i was just having this same convo with someone about this topic. Very interesting.
Me too as well.. wow

Very interesting, thank you.
Lovely..enjoyed this..🎈
Love this way to take the paint , love You Katharina !
Katharina Grosse is a great artist. Her new work in Berlins "Hamburger Bahnhof - contemporary museum" is a impressive work of gigantic proportions in many different shapes, structures and brilliant colours. You can contemplate, marvel, fantasize for a whole day or longer.
Wonderful!
how true: color is hard to describe in words! but Katharina yours are a statement!
Concepts and lines will ever be seen as intelligent things because we continue to think that a great idea should be complex
looking forward
Yes.
COLOR: See Henri Matisse
The fact that she thinks linguistic structure is linear while painting not is a sure testament to why she’s a painter and not a writer

Look the blue lotus by herge is nor available. enjoy.
Your words are not yet up to the promise , lovely work but then what stage have you set your own ? Or one set forth by others , I wish for vision and I'm blind .
So many marks destroys colour
All I can say is...."Sprockets." I think she is married to Dieter. Oh, never mind...Dieter is gay.
Oh boy, you're more gay than you think. However, you will very likely vegetate forever under your stone of stupidity.
Why is it so hard for artist to just make nice stuff.
+Godlike Brain Heart Because everybody always expects some overly poetic and heartfelt reason behind the work. And when the artists do that it's obvious, like Arlene Schechet's Pimento Paper thing.
what's not nice about her work? *glares at you*
One of the biggest problem is homogeny. One of the biggest knife wounding attacks against abstract expressionism. This is more Oehlen. But the battle of post structuralism and conservatism will forever be battled. So far the homogeny is winning.
Why is it so hard for a wannabe to write something meaningful?
Too flat and dull for me.
Too bad shes working with König Gallery, whos owner is an alleged woman abuser :-(
