David Batchelor - Studio Visit | TateShots
We joined artist David Batchelor in his studio to ask him about 'Spectrum of Brick Lane' (2007).
An assemblage of salvaged material transformed into a tower of colourful lightboxes, the sculpture illustrates Batchelor's interest in city colours, rather than those of nature. In this film, he tells us how he takes inspiration from the city, the art of mastering monochromes, and why he needed to escape from 'bloody rectangles'.

Glad I rewatched this, first encountered him at Auckland Art Gallery hosting Tate Light show!
Very nice!

as soon as i saw acrylics, i sighed
Defintely no longer the company we knew. No longer british high quality colours. No more commitment to the arts. They moved from UK to France in 2011 and fired 200 long time employees in UK. Just to make Big money by selling Winsor and Newton factory in Harrow to real estate companies. Product portfolio has been drastically reduced. Terrible loss of knowledge, craftmanship and quality. Colours are now made in France and China (!!) In cheap plastic colour palettes. Now just another anonyme global company, called Colart. Nothing genuine. Based on this latest change in manufacturing colours, products are completely overpriced. I use now Schmincke colours. A family owned manufacturer based in Germany. Highly commited to provide the best colours for more than 100 years. They offer an excellent range and quality of colours.

Most art materials have diminished in quality in the last few decades. Almost everything available looks like it's churned out of the same cut-price factory.
