David Batchelor
Since the 1990s, Batchelor has maintained an ongoing dialogue with colour through sculpture, photography, drawing, writing and printmaking. His influential text Chromophobia investigates how colour in western culture has often been cast as the villain, feared or perceived as a dangerous element. Chromophilia, by contrast, is a direct celebration of colour’s vitality and presence.

Each print presents a one-off balance of semi-regular shapes. Torn edges interrupt the apparent precision of the forms, recalling the rough surfaces and imperfect contours of Batchelor’s concrete sculptures.
I wanted every stack to have its own unique play of colours. I wanted the colours to be as vivid as possible, but also to be dense and as physical as possible.
Screen printing can produce the strongest, sharpest colours, and it can also allow those colours to sit on the paper rather than be absorbed into it. The results are even better than I expected them to be.
