Coming soon to <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Door</strong> Gallery: A solo exhibition by UK artist Alan Rankle Alan Rankle looks to the past in order to paint the future – and has done for two decades. As he has explained: ‘I wanted to relate ideas about historical, idealised, pastoral landscape in art to the grim reality of the environmental crisis that we are in… Considering the historical origins of the genre in relation to my own paintings, I wanted to convey the irony implicit in how the 19th century Romantic movement, with its emphasis on the idyllic natural world of an imaginary past, was sponsored by people who, having made gigantic fortunes out of the Industrial Revolution by building their empires on the slave trade and the criminal use of the Enclosures Acts forcing the poor from their traditional peasant homes to work in their factories and mills, also laid the foundations of environmental pollution on a catastrophic scale’. So if his landscapes look corroded and polluted, that is to the rhetorical point – but they are beautiful, too - drawing us in to his argument, but also suggesting a recognition of the temptations that led us to where we are. by Paul Caray-Kent.
