David Batchelor at L.F.Markey Store

COLOUR IS EVERYWHERE David Batchelor There are no limits to colour – except the ones we impose on it. We are born into colour, it is a part of everything we see and touch. But, as adults, we sometimes ignore its presence in our lives. David Batchelor has been working with colour, as an artist and a writer, for over thirty years. His abstract sculptures, installations and collages are all concerned with drawing attention to this quality of experience, and with exploring the materials, forms and surfaces that colours inhabit in our everyday lives. L.F. Markey is a collection of modern, feminine women’s clothing, inspired by workwear and utility. Namesake designer Louise has always sought inspiration from the art world and imagines garments for creative, practical people. Her brand is known for bold colours, bright fabrics and unique silhouettes, including a core collection of signature boilersuits, trousers and linen co-ords. There is a clear connection between David and Louise’s bold use of vivid colour so naturally the L.F. Markey flagship store in Dalston is excited to present ‘Colour is Everywhere’ for the duration of London Design Festival. As Batchelor says: ‘We both do big colour, we both do blocks and stripes, we both make bright things and put them out there. It’s filthy work, but someone has to do it.’ A SPECIAL EVENT Thursday the 19th of September, 5.30 – 7.30pm Please join us at store for David Batchelor’s talk on Colour Theory L.F.
