Bright, explosive color; wet autumn leaves; diaphanous landscapes. It's all there in Ryan Rankin's watercolors. In some, splashes of vibrant color appear as wild and deceptively simple abstractions. Others present images of swirling leaves viewed as if through layers of water in an endless puddle. And landscapes that might at first seem like familiar scenes of plants and forests present beguiling views of dream worlds. Despite this diversity of subjects, what's striking is the unity of the work. Ryan's paintings are all distinguished by his distinctive style. Painting abstractions and natural forms alike with broad, loose washes of deep color, he creates abstractions that appear to be concrete objects and natural forms that seem abstract.
