View in a Room

// Chromoscape 1-10 by David Batchelor is a limited edition lithograph that emphasizes minimalism and color dynamics. Created in 2018, this piece features a bold, angular yellow shape set against a stark black rectangular background, drawing the eye to the contrast between light and dark. Batchelor's work often explores color as an independent entity, and in this print, he uses the simplicity of form and palette to evoke a sense of spatial depth and tension. The sharp edges and solid hues challenge viewers to focus on the intensity of color itself, reflecting Batchelor's interest in urban light and color theory.

David Batchelor (Scotland, 1955) is a Scottish artist and writer renowned for his vibrant explorations of color in urban environments. His work spans sculpture, installation, and photography, often utilizing found objects to create dynamic compositions. Batchelor's notable publications include 'Chromophobia' (2000), examining Western culture's aversion to color.

Chromophobia is perhaps only chromophilia without the colour.
- David Batchelor

David Batchelor is an innovative minimalist artist who takes staple objects of everyday society and combines them with industrial scraps and a range of colors, producing extravagant, thought-provoking pieces. By combing through common shops and markets throughout the world, he collects ordinary odds and ends that, with a touch of industrialism and vibrant paints, go towards the creation of riveting works of art meant to draw inspiration from both color and modern society.

A Fine Arts graduate of Nottingham Trent University in Nottingham, United Kingdom, Batchelor is an internationally recognized minimalist artist with both temporary and permanent displays in multiple countries. Examples of his work and artistic style include Waldella, a Scottish installation composed of plastic bottles and vibrant colored lights, and Ten Silhouettes in London, United Kingdom, composed of miscellaneous objects amplified by acrylic paints and colored lights. Above all, David Batchelor hopes to draw attention to the splendor of color, his works often featuring a wide variety of color applied to the recycled urban objects he finds in his pursuits.
