“We grow up with dreams in our eyes and songs on our lips and we discover that life is not what we thought it would be. And then, we discover nostalgia.” - Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
The magic of an era gone by, yet still in our hearts. How many of these do you remember?
As I started creating this work and adding more of my favourite memories, I realised many of the knick-knacks that were showing up in this painting were from 1981 (or the years closely surrounding it).
These memories instantly transport us back to spending time with friends, listening to music, hanging out, playing arcade games, feeling so grown up and cool if we could buy junk food and play games with our pocket money! Then take off for a bike ride with our friends.
