David Batchelor will feature in Robert Cripp's Gallery's upcoming group show, Notes on Colour.

 

The exhibition brings together the work of three contemporary artists, Vicken Parsons, Jeff McMillan and David Batchelor, for whom colour has been an abiding preoccupation over many years. These three artists make works which employ different materials, take different forms and address different questions, yet are linked by a deep and prolonged interest in the complexity, unpredictability, and sheer sensuous pleasures of colour. Each artist’s work rests on the edges of abstraction, without being fully abstract: a place where colour has space to breathe, without being entirely detached from the material world.

 

The artists will also appear in conversation with curator and historian Richard Calvocoressi at Cripps Auditorium on 22 June 2026.
