David Rankin 'The Blue Bay VIII' warm tones to become a “serious” artistFrom one of Australia s esteemed artists, this original screenprint evokes the dynamism of the ocean. In a swirl of colour and shape, it calls forth the water s force, while evading literalness. This ability to suspend allusion and subject is core to Rankin s talent.
