The work produced exclusively for Carbono, makes use of the production of light boxes, a recurrent feature in the artist's work.
Batchelor intervenes in existing, often banal objects, transforming them with the insertion of light and color through neon. The artist believes that colored light can modify our perception of objects, creating a tension between the form and materiality of color, making it an element more connected to everyone's daily lives.
Biography
David Batchelor
David Batchelor studied painting and color soon became the main element of his research. This color is based on the colors found inside a can of paint, not those found in nature. The artist still produces drawings, but is known for his objects and installations with colored lights: backlights and neons. He has exhibited widely in Europe, the United States and Latin America. He is the author of two books: "Minimalism" (1997) and "Chromophobia" (2000), and is the editor of "Color" (2008). He has also contributed to important art magazines, including Artscribe, Frieze and Artforum.
