Nostalgia - Series of Works by Scott Carruthers

Scott Carruthers is currently exhibiting his new series of works at Artery Gallery in St Andrews. His work is inspired by a mix of the nostalgia from his own childhood along with watching his own kids grow from day to day. Not necessarily making any comparisons, but being reminded of his nostalgic years and how their life today differs in these modern times, yet somehow mirror his own childhood.

Scott explains the mindset behind each piece;

"Kids love their wheels and everyone surely remembers their first bike or trike with its gleaming paint job (mine was purple with white wheels!). It's a fundamental part of childhood to ride a bike, and kids are always eager to ride around on their beloved machine, lost in their own adventurous world. It introduces them also to their wider surroundings, they learn about the areas where they live, they meet up with friends, they go places...albeit just to end of the street and back!"

"There is a myth that doing nothing is wasting time, when it's actually extremely productive and essential. During empty hours, kids explore the world at their own pace, develop their own unique set of interests and indulge in the sort of fantasy play that will help them figure out how to create their own happiness. When they are watching television, even if there is nothing particularly on, you just know they are sitting there lost in their own imagination. However, always the inquisitive, a kid will stop and stare at something that they feel is far more interesting!"

Artery Gallery has been a major supporter of contemporary Scottish artists over the years and continues to boost up and coming artist profiles, as well as the well established.
