Think of all those little moments after school, or better yet, Saturday mornings when you knew you didn't have to do anything. Football, bicycles, cartoons, PCs and consoles. Comics and inexhaustible heroes, colorful, tasty junk we couldn't stop eating. Every region has its own details, but artist Doug Bloodworth has always focused on childhood nostalgia on the other side of the pond, and the result is a series of photorealistic paintings you can't miss.
One of the things I miss most is the taste of certain candies and chocolates. Many of them still exist, but everything is different today. Sizes changed, formulas changed… and of course I changed. Now, what is it that “brings you back”? Is it music, a toy, a TV series? For artist Doug Bloodworth, the answer lies in Batman, Superman, and cowboy stories. Board games and sweets that sent sugar levels into orbit. Marbles and Hershey's bars, packs of M&M, potato chips, ice cream, and coloring books. Oreo cookies, cards, and comics on the back pages of newspapers. His works have been part of galleries on both ends of the United States, and even reached countries like Germany and Switzerland.
