Alan Rankle
Alan Rankle’s work explores historical, social and environmental issues informed by his interest in the evolution of landscape art. Jackie Wullschlager writes: ‘Rankle's depictions of Nature as luminous, tortured, polluted or damaged, conveyed in violent surges of paint, bold blocks of colour and diffused light make him a distinctive contemporary landscapist.’
Since his first exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts London in 1973, Alan has worked variously in painting, video, photography, printmaking, architectural intervention and curating, through a series of international exhibitions and commissions.
Recent retrospective surveys of his work have been presented at Gallery Oldham in 2006 and Fondazione Stelline, Milan in 2010 where he also began his critically acclaimed series of collaborative exhibitions On the Edge of Wrong with the artist Kirsten Reynolds. His work was featured in the 2017 Southampton City Art Gallery exhibition and book, Capture the Castle showing landscape artists from Turner to the present day.
Work by Alan can be found in museum, corporate and private collections worldwide.
Upcoming: Art for Christmas, A Group Show – 28 November - 14 December 2025
