Artist: Martin Creed
Hauser & Wirth St. Moritz presents ‘Step Paintings’ by Martin Creed, Turner Prize-winning artist, performer, composer and ‘Punk poet.’
‘Colors can help you feel better,’ says Creed. ‘Paintings are the arrangement of colors for pleasure.’
In Creed’s Step Paintings, colors build up like a staircase to heaven, like a wedding cake, like favorite socks in a drawer, like a house on an island in the middle of the sea.
Creed has become known for hugely varied work, which is by turns uncompromising, entertaining, shocking and beautiful.
The exhibition will bring together a selection of Creed’s Step Paintings from the past six years, alongside four neon works.
