paul czerlitzki

Born in Gdańsk, Poland, in 1986, Paul Czerlitzki lives and works in Düsseldorf, where he studied at the Kunstakademie in Katharina Grosse’s class. His practice considers painting through its materials, processes and relationship to the space around it.

In the Untitled series, paint passes through a porous canvas onto another surface beneath it. The RELAY works gather pigment deposited during the making of other paintings, then receive a further layer of colour. Time, chance and traces of handling become part of each work. Canvases, frames and drywall structures extend this investigation into the exhibition space, allowing the history of one painting to remain embedded within another.
