View in a Room

// David Batchelor’s CV1 (2022) is a limited edition lithograph that explores geometric abstraction through a monochromatic palette. The print, measuring 100 x 70 cm, features interlocking zigzag patterns arranged in a symmetrical composition. The use of varying shades of gray, from light to dark, creates a dynamic sense of depth and movement within the structured design. Batchelor's focus on balance and visual rhythm is evident as the repeating forms guide the viewer’s eye across the artwork, giving it an architectural and almost maze-like quality. The absence of color emphasizes the form and structure, making this piece a sophisticated study in contrast and perception, consistent with Batchelor’s exploration of urban aesthetics.

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.
