View in a Room

// David Batchelor's Chromoscape 4-10 is a lithograph that exemplifies his exploration of color and form within minimalist compositions. Created in 2018, this limited edition print features a striking contrast between a bold, angular green shape and a deep black rectangular background. The green form, with subtle marbled textures, seems to both merge with and stand out against the stark black, creating a tension between flatness and depth. Batchelor’s work often examines how color can redefine space, and here he uses simplicity to draw attention to the interplay of shapes and contrasts, offering a meditative viewing experience that celebrates pure color and form.

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.

What is minimalism?

Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
