David Rankin, a New York-based Australian artist, is celebrated for his expressive and vibrant abstract works. His paintings are characterized by their quick, loose brushstrokes and calligraphies. Rankin's artistic journey began during his formative years when he developed a profound interest in art and poetry from China, Japan, and India. He also developed a deep interest in Aboriginal culture. Inspired by these influences, he aimed to merge Eastern art themes and styles with Western abstraction, resulting in a truly unique painting style.
Rankin has held over 100 solo exhibitions in cities across the world including China, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, Mexico, Ireland, Australia and the United States. His work forms part of many of the world's leading collections and museums.
