Katharina Grosse: I Set Out, I Walked Fast

White Cube Bermondsey presents an exhibition of works by Katharina Grosse, her first with the gallery since her 2002 exhibition at the former Hoxton Square location.

This is the first major UK presentation to fully encompass the breadth and scale of Grosse’s expansive approach to painting. The exhibition brings together new works made in her New Zealand studio alongside sculpture and large-scale immersive works sprayed in situ, and includes rarely seen canvases from the artist’s personal archive.

Across Grosse’s work, the painted image moves freely between canvas, architecture and ground, driven by her compulsion to take over space with painting and a belief in colour as an immediate, visceral force – one that has the capacity to alter our perception of reality.
