Puff Puff Paint

Max Frintrop, Gabrielle Graessle, Nils Jendri, Abel Kabel, Liz Markus, Anna Pietrzak, Evelyn Snoek, Erik Sommer, David Surman

Mott Projects, in partnership with Shit Art Club, is pleased to present Puff Puff Paint, a group exhibition featuring nine of the most interesting and provocative painters working today.

As the idea of a painting continues to move further and further away from only being a lifelike picture made from paint on a canvas, artists today have the freedom to interpret the medium how they see fit. Working without limitations on material, subject matter, size, shape, application method or installation technique, and borrowing ideas from drawing and sculpture, this group of international artists pursue their visual vocabulary in ways that cause viewers to ask: What constitutes a painting? Or more importantly: Does it matter?
