had an affinity with nature since childhood, it was incontrovertible that he would be drawn to paint anything else. Nature’s raw beauty is Colin Carruthers’ most powerful inspiration, within which he feels liberated and intrinsically drawn to put brush to canvas. Colin Carruthers makes frequent trips to the coast and countryside, both in the U.K. and across mainland Europe, which has deepened his appreciation of nature’s diversity and beauty, and energised him to create contemporary art and paintings that are fresh and ever evolving.
More recently artist Colin Carruthers has focused his creative attention towards his love for the light and atmosphere of Provence and the Cote d’Azur, France. The Cote d’Azur has long attracted artists and creators who were inspired by the natural beauty of the region; Monet arrived there in 1885, followed by a host of painters including Cezanne, Van Goh, Matisse, Chagall and Picasso. It is no co-incidence therefore that like the painters that have gone before him, Colin Carruthers has become fascinated with the clarity and light encapsulated within the beautiful blue skies and landscape of Le Midi. The distinctive Aleppo Pines, so typically Mediterranean, often now feature in his French coastal paintings, along with many familiar wildflowers that grow in the hilltop villages of Provence.”
In addition to Red Rag Art Gallery Colin Carruthers has exhibited in other art galleries in the UK and has modern art work in numerous private and public art collections.
