Batchelor, David | Chromoscape 3-10, 2018 — available on Composition Gallery

View in a Room

// Chromoscape 3-10 by David Batchelor is a limited edition lithograph that explores the dynamic interplay between color and form. The composition is dominated by a large, solid black shape, rectangular and staggered in layout, set against a vivid, textured blue background. The contrast between the deep black and the bright, mottled blue evokes a sense of depth and spatial tension, a hallmark of Batchelor’s work that often investigates the impact of color in urban environments. The simplicity of the geometric forms, combined with the expressive color field, invites viewers to reflect on how color and shape can define and disrupt space.

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.
