Viewing Katharina Grosse: I Set Out, I Walked Fast

Katharina Grosse returns to London with a major exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey that brings together a new in-situ painting, fresh canvases, a painted bronze work and rarely seen pieces from her personal archive. Titled I Set Out, I Walked Fast, the show borrows its name from Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and signals the forward momentum that runs through Grosse’s practice.

Grosse has long treated painting as something that exceeds the canvas, pushing colour across walls and architecture with startling force. This exhibition gives this instinct room to operate at full scale, while also tracing connections between newer works and earlier ones. Nearly a decade on from her presentation at South London Gallery, this is an important London return, and one that makes a strong case for painting as a physical, unstable encounter.
