David Roth‘s oeuvre is characterized by a variety of projects: He might use flowers as brushes, resulting in his “Flower Paintings“ or drag canvases through forests, onto trees, or up onto mountains, even into a museum, he transforms paintings into a raft, a tent or a sledge, or stacks used, painted material on wooden trestles, resulting in four-legged, colourful, voluminous bodies pregnant with painting(s), he has named “Brains“. He moves between multimedia and conceptual approaches - from painting on canvas, to video, photo and performative works, installations, and conceptual painting ideas. The common thread – or rather the origin of it – is questioning painting, questioning what painting is or was meant to be and questioning what painting can be. To him painting is primarily a verb, not a noun, an event first and only then a work of art.
