Dali and Disney

From the surreal to the very surreal. That was the experience on my recent travels to Florida that started at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg and ended at Disney World in Orlando. I think Dali and Walt had similar minds. The Dali Museum is impressive, permanently housing many of the painter’s masterworks. The museum […]

Beneath the Surface: Digging Deeper

May 1, 2014 By John Rankine 1 Comment

Beneath the Surface: Digging Deeper

Beneath the Surface is a continued series of work combining found objects photographed in simple settings using mostly natural light. These still lives are my attempt to reveal some of life’s underbelly. I have always been fascinated by objects – old, worn, often discarded things that I’d find, pair, and meticulously arrange, even as a […]

“The Peep Show “ was a one-time, juried exhibit held in the basement of the Eureka Springs Auditorium in 2003 or 4. Peeps, those marshmallow-like chicks and bunnies, were given to anyone who wanted to create a piece of “art” from of the toxic Easter treats. The event was silly fun and juried by the […]

MUGS

I was approached by Creative Energy producer Jeremy Mason McGraw about creating a portrait series for the 2013 Eureka Springs May Festival of the Arts. Since it was timed for the art festival, I thought there could be no better subject matter than the artists who make up our quirky little town, Eureka Springs. I […]
