Glowstick 5 presents a vertical column of saturated, luminous colour contained within a deceptively simple industrial framework. Created in 2016 by David Batchelor, this work measures an imposing 200 by 75 by 10 centimetres and belongs to a body of work that treats colour as a physical, almost electrical presence rather than a pictorial element. Batchelor constructs these pieces using found fluorescent tubes and commercial light sources housed in utilitarian steel or aluminium supports, transforming mass-produced components into objects of remarkable visual intensity. The result is something that hovers between sculpture and painting, between the everyday and the transcendent. Batchelor has long been preoccupied with what he calls chromophobia, the cultural suspicion of vivid colour in Western art and design, and the Glowstick series can be read as a direct rejoinder to that tradition. By sourcing materials from hardware stores and industrial suppliers, he insists on colour's democratic availability while simultaneously elevating it into a rarefied aesthetic experience. The vertical format reinforces the work's physical authority, drawing comparisons to the Minimalist totem while refusing the movement's emotional austerity. Where Minimalism often suppressed sensation, Batchelor amplifies it. Signed by the artist, Glowstick 5 is presented without a frame, a condition that underscores its status as a three-dimensional object rather than a wall-bound image. Offered through Galeria Leme, this work represents a mature and fully resolved statement within Batchelor's practice and would anchor any serious collection focused on contemporary sculpture, colour theory, or the intersection of conceptual rigour and sensory pleasure.
