Batchelor, David | CV (diptych), 2022 — available on Composition Gallery

Set of 2 lithographs "CV", 2022 - Size 100 x 70 cm. (each)

David Batchelor’s CV (diptych) (2022) is a striking limited edition set of two lithographs, each measuring 100 x 70 cm. The artwork contrasts vibrant, colorful patterns on the left panel with grayscale variations on the right, creating a dynamic interplay between color and monochrome. The composition is structured with bold, zigzagging geometric shapes, reminiscent of architectural forms or labyrinthine pathways. The left panel features bright hues such as pink, yellow, red, and navy blue, while the right panel reinterprets the same pattern using shades of gray. Batchelor’s exploration of color theory and abstraction is evident, as he invites viewers to engage with the visual rhythm and balance of each contrasting panel. This diptych captures the artist’s fascination with the aesthetics of urban spaces and the power of color in transforming perception.

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.
