Foreword by Ian Courcoux
|
 |
Colin Carruthers is a painter whose work I greatly admire. His strong seascapes often encompass the bleakness of an empty bay with the strength and coldness of a wild sea. This isn't water you want to swim in! The paintings have texture and what I can only term as 'guts' - they're not pretty or warm but I find them extremely compelling. |

And after a recent trip to the west coast of Scotland, Colin has incorporated more colour and warmth into his palette, as in Oban Harbour, a truly lovely painting. Personally, I love his triptychs, sometimes framed and sometimes not, as there is an extra panoramic dimension to the image. |

Colin Carruthers is now in his second successful year with the gallery and I believe that there will be many more to come. Ian Courcoux |
