Katarina Gross was a painter that was born in 1961, in Freiburg, Germany. She uses sprayed acrylic colors on large sculptures or walls. She has an interest in imagining things big in relationship to one's surroundings. She likes exploring this thought while observing the world and being in it. She uses architecture and the natural world for juxtapositions. Her work generally has complex narratives psychedelic vistas, evocative titles, and everyday objects. She builds her work with layers of colors. She is a professor and has received awards such as the Fred-Thieler-Preis in 2003, and the Schmidt-Rottluff-Stipendium in 1993. Her exhibits were displayed in places such as Public Art Fund in 2013, Nasher Sculpture Center in 2013, MOCA Cleveland in 2012 and Mass MoCa in 2010.
I was really interested in her arts because I loved the different layers of vibrant colors in her work. The colors she uses in the works are mesmerizing. I thought it was interesting that she created these patterns of colors large-scale sculptures, walls and floors. I liked the "Just the Two of Us" which is the piece of art outside. If I was outside, the colors would definitely capture my attention and keep my interest. I like that her sculptures usually have sharp edges but she usually paints with softer lines.
