14 Apr Katharina Grosse’s ‘I set out, I walked fast’ at White Cube

From Wednesday 22 April, White Cube Bermondsey will present an exhibition of works by Katharina Grosse, the first major UK presentation to fully encompass the breadth and scale of Grosse’s expansive approach to painting. It is entitled I set out, I walked fast. 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. 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. Her spray gun colours everything it reaches, passing over obstacles and surfaces without hesitation or interruption, allowing her to take on vast spaces with a singular velocity. As the artist herself has said: ‘Imagination doesn’t have a scale.’

The picture is from a 2025 installation. More  here.
