Step Paintings
11 February – 10 April 2023
St. Moritz
Hauser & Wirth St. Moritz presents ‘Step Paintings’ by Martin Creed, Turner Prize-winning artist, performer, composer and ‘Punk poet.’
About the exhibition
The exhibition brings together a selection of Creed’s Step Paintings from the past twelve years, alongside four neon works.
‘Colors can help you feel better. Paintings are the arrangement of colors for pleasure.’—Martin Creed
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.
