Born 1986 in Danzig, Pologne Lives and works in Düsseldorf and Paris Paul Czerlitzki's work takes part in a reflection on painting and its material components. "The artist has therefore selected a methodological process with which he can repeatedly renegotiate, discover and critically examine painting’s material preconditions, i.e., the frame, the canvas and paint, and the objective, namely, to produce a (panel) painting. He dismantles existing orders by using the canvas as a membrane through which to apply or press colours. He also positions the canvas in relation to the space, as in an installation, or else removes it from the frame and mounts it again slightly off." (Suzanne Friedli and Elisabeth Gerber)
