St. Moritz

The exhibition brings together a selection of Creed’s Step Paintings from the past twelve years, alongside four neon works.

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.

Creed has become known for hugely varied work, which is by turns uncompromising, entertaining, shocking and beautiful.

‘Creed is a social artist; the true magic of his work lies in the way it interacts with people and places.’

Jones, Jonathan, ‘Martin Creed’s stairway to heaven,’ in theguardian.co.uk, London/UK, 1 August 2011, ill. (on Work No. 1059)

‘Martin Creed. Step Paintings’ is on view now through 10 April 2023 at Hauser & Wirth St. Moritz.
