地點：武漢美術館

動感圖像與私人肖像是蘭金（Rankin）作品的代名詞，在他的鏡頭下可謂是匯集了眾生之相，既有皇室成員，又有流亡難民。 他那極具沖擊力的攝影作品已成為當代肖像研究中不可或缺的一部分。從為Nike服務，到幫助婦女援助組織攝影，作品將他的個人興趣愛好與商業活動恰當銜接。從巴西圣保羅到俄羅斯莫斯科，從英國倫敦到美國洛杉磯，他的作品在全世界各地的美術館都會定期展覽。

作為“藝述英國——英國藝術及創意產業節”旗艦活動之一，王者駕臨—— 影像君主Rankin非凡藝術（中國）巡回盛典將從六月起在中國巡展。

About Rankin

Rankin first came to prominence when he co-founded the magazine Dazed & Confused with Jefferson Hack. One of the most influential British style magazines of the 1990s, it established its stylists in the fashion elite, broke some of today’s top designers and nurtured the budding careers of a generation of creative photographers. His photography has since captured some of the most influential politicians, popular musicians, revered artists and celebrated models of his time and is regularly exhibited in galleries around the world. Rankin also continues to take on projects that feature ordinary people, often questioning established notions of beauty and causing controversy and igniting debates along the way. Most recently he travelled to Johannesburg with the BBC to film South Africa in Pictures, a documentary in which he traces the country’s photographic history.
