Katharina Grosse
Katharina Grosse was born in 1961 in Freiburg/Breisgau,Germany. She is an artist that often works with styrofoam and bright colors. One quality of her works is that she uses common things expressed them in a different way or scale. The surroundings are important for her in order to get a proper idea. Her goal is to give meaning to the surroundings with her paintings. When Grosse gets an idea she makes a small scale of her idea first and then she works with her team on the large scale.
Gross expressed on an interview that while working on a project, she gets feedback and changes things to make the work better. 
Grosse expresed on an interview that one of her goals is to make people "be in something,while looking at it" and she added that she finds it really interesting and fun.Lately, Grosse is working with her brother who is a structural engineer. It makes her works even more interesting combining painting, engineering and sculpture.
Katharina Grosse sounds like a great artist, very different from Maya Lin the artist I chose who works on sculptures and landscape art. But they both have the same idea to give meaning to their art work to let it speak for itself. The use of bright colors in her art work that you put up attracts me, which i'm sure is what she intends to do. Great summary of Katharine Grosse I really understood what type of artist she is and what she intends to say through her work.
