Katharina Grosse's large-format “Studio Paintings” are created in her Berlin and New Zealand studios. They constitute an equally important part of her work as her successful large-scale projects in public spaces. The artist experiments with different techniques and materials in the studio. She has been increasingly using stencils and other utensils she occasionally finds near her studios. Among other things, she attaches branches or strings to the canvas. She integrates them into the painting, creating new effects and levels of perspective, foreground and background, composition, and pictorial hierarchy that challenge our traditional understanding of painting. Through her innovative use of color, she has fundamentally changed our contemporary perception of painting.
She used these devices in the present work from 2021, applying them to cover parts of the canvas during the painting process, resulting in a compelling interplay between colored and uncolored areas. In Grosse's work, the apparent flaw of the blank canvas is a stylistic device. It seems like a visual obstacle in the artist's otherwise colorful paintings, a strong counterpoint that makes the exuberant presence of the colors even more pronounced. In 2024, the Kunstmuseum in Bonn dedicated a comprehensive retrospective to the significant group of the “Studio Paintings.” It traced the artist's development from the 1980s to the present day and illustrated her rise to become one of the world's most successful artists. Large studio works on white canvas form the basis for an almost infinite range of possibilities to create a color stage and repeatedly redefine the boundaries of painting. [AR]
