Martin Creed - Paintings - Johnen Galerie - Berlin


through June 25th 2011

The works on view, as all other works by the artist who is well-versed in media as diverse as photography, sculpture, film, and music, range between plain and generally understandable structures, and happenstance. The ‘genius’ creator steps back by – at least theoretically – enabling everyone to make the work following his instructions which makes this work deeply democratic and leaves room for play, practice and selection. Some of the small canvases are densely packed with horizontal, intertwining brushstrokes, others show stair-like stacks of different strokes or zig zags of all shades of colors.
