David Roth

„Flower Paintings“

For the first edition of Paper Positions Vienna, Elektrohalle Rhomberg is happy to present brand new works on paper from the ongoing series titled „Flower Paintings“ by Austrian artist David Roth (born 1985, lives and works in Vienna).

In these “Flower Paintings” Roth further extends his foray into working with flowers, however not employing them as a sujet but as his instruments. Used as paintbrushes, they become part of the painting process. The flowers’ varying character and texture leave behind marks and shapes that surprise us, some appearing anarchical, some poetical. The appropriation of flowers as painting tools is not to be understood as questioning traditional equipment, which David Roth does use in other projects for his painterly research, but rather as an alternative allowing to extend the painter’s vocabulary.
