David Batchelor: Unplugged

In his first major solo exhibition in Scotland David Batchelor will show new work created for Talbot Rice Gallery.

Concerned with ideas of urbanism and consumption, Batchelor has scoured the country’s pound shops to create a multi-coloured forest of plastic and steel. Each component part an object of little value, the colour and material alludes to low status culture and lives lived by economy and thrift. What could be seen as vulgar detritus to some becomes in Batchelor’s hands, jewel like and magical.

Batchelor will display, for the first time in a public exhibition, a selection of drawings and paintings that inform his ideas. Talbot Rice Gallery has also commissioned a limited edition print produced at DCA print studio, Dundee.

David Batchelor was born in Dundee and lives and works in London.
