With a special exhibition text by Andy Murray:

"This car will ruin your life—it has certainly ruined mine."

Toby Messenger is a Glasgow-based visual artist whose practice merges drawing, painting, assemblage, and installation. Working primarily with cardboard, recycled wood, and household materials, he constructs scaled replicas of everyday objects—cars, bikes, bedroom DJ rigs—that channel a spirit of DIY ingenuity and cultural critique. Rooted in the aesthetics of rave culture and a nostalgic fascination with the motor car, Messenger’s lo-fi constructions celebrate the studio as a space of making, memory, and quiet resistance. His work draws on the raw energy of Neo-Dada and the readymade, transforming overlooked materials into playful, poignant monuments to a pre-digital world.
