Beloved US clothing brand LF Markey presents works by multidisciplinary artist David Batchelor, alongside wearable collections, at its Dalston store.
David Batchelor's sense of colour is joyful and beyond the bright palette, he invites your eye to get lost in intricate bead work and quilting techniques. His art practice ( and writings on colour theory ) offer an enquiry into when colour begins and ends, both in the material world and the imagination, and we are excited to house his sculpture and textile works for the duration of London Design Festival. David Batchelor is an artist and writer based in London. He was born in Dundee, Scotland, in 1955. He studied Fine Art at Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham (1975-78), and Cultural Theory at Birmingham University (1978-80). For thirty years Batchelor has been concerned with the experience of colour within a modern urban environment, and with historical conceptions of colour within Western culture. His work comprises sculpture, installation, drawing, painting, photography and animation. He has exhibited widely in the UK, continental Europe, the Americas and, more recently, the Middle East and Asia. Batchelor has also written a number of books and essays on colour theory, including Chromophobia (2000).
