DAVID BATCHELOR
GLOWSTICKS

03.15.16 _ 04.23.16

Galeria Leme presents Glowsticks, the fourth solo exhibition at the gallery by the London-based artist David Batchelor.

For over two decades David Batchelor has been making two and three-dimensional works that explore the vivid colours of the modern city.

This new group of works derive directly from Batchelor’s seminal work Magic Hour (2004-07), which since 2013 has been touring New Zealand, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Chile as part of the Hayward Gallery’s ground-breaking exhibition Light Show.

As with Magic Hour, and the Backlights that were shown in Galeria Leme in 2010, the source of the works colour is not directly visible. Rather the colour emerges around the edges of a dark silhouetted form and spills onto the surrounding wall. In this new group of works the supporting structure is made from an irregular group of overlapping open frames within which are set ten different LED light circuits. Each frame is programmed to emit a single colour light, and each work combines ten different colours that interact and blend to produce a multicolour spectrum of subtly merging colours.

About the Artist:

David Batchelor, 1955, Dundee, Scotland. Lives and works in London.

David Batchelor has had numerous solo exhibitions internationally, including Monochrome Archive, Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK, 2015; Flatlands, Fruitmarket Gallery, Endiburgh, Scotland; Brighton-Palermo ReMix, Brighton Festival, Brighton, UK, 2012; among others.

And group exhibitions such as: Sprayed, Gagosian Gallery, London, UK, 2015; Adventures of the Black Square: Abstract Art and Society 1915-2015, Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK, 2015; Light Show, Hayward Gallery, London, UK, and touring, 2013-16; The Color Chart, MoMA, New York, USA, 2008; 26th São Paulo Biennial, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 2008; among others.

David Batchelor has also been commissioned site-specific projects such as Chromolocomotion, Terrace Wires Commission, St Pancras Station, London, UK. And among his recent books are: The Luminous and the Grey, Reaktion Books, 2014, and The October Colouring-In Book, Common Editions, 2015.
 


Galeria Leme apresenta Glowsticks, a quarta exposição individual na galeria do artista residente em Londres David Batchelor.

Por mais de duas décadas David Batchelor tem feito obras bi- e tri-dimensionais que exploram as cores vivas da cidade moderna.

Este novo conjunto de obras decorrem diretamente da obra seminal de Batchelor, Magic Hour (2004-07), que desde 2013 vem circulando pela Nova Zelândia, Austrália, Emirados Árabes Unidos e Chile, como parte da exposição pioneira da Galeria Hayward, Light Show.

Tal como acontece em Magic Hour, e nos backlights que foram mostrados na Galeria Leme em 2010, a fonte da cor das obras não é diretamente visível. Ao invés, a cor surge ao redor das extremidades de uma silhueta escura, transbordando para a parede ao seu redor. Neste novo conjunto de obras a estrutura de apoio é constituída por um grupo de armações abertas e irregularmente sobrepostas, dentro das quais são ajustados dez circuitos de luz LED diferentes. Cada armação é programada para emitir uma luz de uma única cor e cada trabalho combina dez cores diferentes que interagem e se combinam para produzir um espectro de cores que sutilmente se mesclam.

Sobre o artista:
