David Batchelor - ‘Chromoscreen’ limited editions
We’re proud to announce our first collaboration with Tate, two new limited edition artworks by David Batchelor.
Our team has had the immense pleasure of working with David Batchelor at our studio to produce the ‘Chromoscreen 01’ and ‘Chromoscreen 02’ limited edition silkscreen artworks for Tate. The editions, publicly unveiled at the 2025 London Original Print Fair are now available from the Main Shop at Tate Britain or online via the Tate Shop.
To create the prints from Batchelor’s new original Concrete Collage works, we used glossy structured printing inks, allowing the inks to sit proudly atop the paper to create the effect of Batchelor’s spray-painted paper collages.
“Tiny air bubbles that have been fixed in the printing process are similar to the pockets of air commonly found in concrete, a material often employed in his sculptural work.”
“Batchelor has honed a sensibility towards colour and composition over his career, spanning three decades and a variety of media including sculpture, painting, photography, printmaking, textiles and installation. This sensibility guides his arrangement of blocks of colour, whether spray-paint on paper in his Concrete Collage works, or screen-printed ink on paper in his Chromoscreen works for Tate.
The arranging process is quick and energetic, but once settled, the blocks of colour are rendered still and harmonious. In his screen print editions, the ink is thick and glossy, resting on the surface of the paper. Tiny air bubbles that have been fixed in the printing process are similar to the pockets of air commonly found in concrete, a material which Batchelor often employs in his sculptural work. For example, in his Concreto-Concreto series, stacks of two, three, or four concrete building blocks are spray-painted in thoughtfully composed palettes.”
