German artist sprays colors on Guangzhou

German artist Katharina Grosse says when she was a child, she often played a game in her head before getting up in the morning. She says she imagined a painting brush with which she would cover all the shadows on the wall, the windowsill, the lamp and elsewhere.

Years later, Grosse would develop that childhood "obsession" into an individual approach to painting that is central to her creations. But rather than grabbing a brush from her childhood imagination, Grosse primarily uses a spray gun to spread vibrant colors directly on the interiors and exteriors of buildings and other objects.

Grosse uses a rich scheme of colors, which presents an explosive visual effect at first sight, and then gives a soothing touch as one looks at her work for a while.
