David Batchelor : Flatlands

23 Nov 2013-26 Jan 2014

Overview

David Batchelor (b. Dundee 1955) is best known for his vividly-coloured sculptural installations of illuminated lightboxes, industrial dollies and other found objects. These three-dimensional works perhaps belie the fact that the root of his interest is and always has been in drawing, painting, abstraction and the monochrome – preoccupations that are best charted in his immensely varied two-dimensional work. This exhibition is the first in-depth presentation of David Batchelor’s drawings and paintings and brings together nearly 150 works, many of them not previously exhibited.
