Notes on Chromophilia

David Batchelor

This suite of twelve screen prints is based on a series of collages I have been making for the past two years. The collages are derived from an on-going group of spray-painted concrete sculptures, which are in turn adapted from another group of sculptures, which themselves came from . . . That is the way work gets made in my studio: everything is partially connected to what came before it and will have some relationship with what comes after it. As a result, there is no clear starting point or end point.
