Even though Rancaño has always been keen on drawing, it is the strict rules of design that gives way to his paintings. · · · · · #carlosrancano #figurativefutures #artexhibition #miamiexhibition #oilpaintings #figurativeart #figurativepainting #contemporaryart #internationalart #DAM #DAMart #miamiartist #miamiart #miamigallery #wynwoodgalleries #instaart #artcollector #youngcollectors #artlovers #dailyart #art_spotlight https://www.instagram.com/p/BwQM9abBgp0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e7b3hxlb2psb

Rancaño’s work is saturated with bright, warm colors and sharp, rigid brush strokes serving as a pedestal to the subjects in his work. Spreading from an array of themes, like bold portraits of women to African child soldiers, his work is never well-worn. · · · · · #carlosrancano #figurativefutures #artexhibition #miamiexhibition #oilpaintings #figurativeart #figurativepainting #contemporaryart #internationalart #DAM #DAMart #miamiartist #miamiart #miamigallery #wynwoodgalleries #instaart #artcollector #youngcollectors #artlovers #dailyart #art_spotlight https://www.instagram.com/p/BwQF5NGBwxW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5fbpyo70sc2a

In Figurative Futures - Rancano deftly applies paint to each piece, placing his subjects in every-day settings surrounded by symbolic animals and insects. More often than not it is these symbolic animals or insects that tell the true story - derived from the primary subject form(s) depicted. · · · · · · · #carlosrancano #figurativefutures #artexhibition #miamiexhibition #oilpaintings #figurativeart #figurativepainting #contemporaryart #internationalart #DAM #DAMart #miamiartist #miamiart #miamigallery #wynwoodgalleries #instaart #artcollector #youngcollectors #artlovers #dailyart #art_spotlight https://www.instagram.com/p/BwNkW62hBeW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6pl67kc6jnwq

DAM Artist Carlos Rancano describes “My work stands as a contradiction both in a literal sense and figuratively. A painting could be saturated with bright colors while it’s subject matter be dark in its tone”. · · · · · · #carlosrancano #figurativefutures #artexhibition #miamiexhibition #oilpaintings #figurativeart #figurativepainting #contemporaryart #internationalart #DAM #DAMart #miamiartist #miamiart #miamigallery #wynwoodgalleries #instaart #artcollector #youngcollectors #artlovers #dailyart #art_spotlight https://www.instagram.com/p/BwNuZBUBblT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=165oetoijnltc

”Figurative Futures” marks the first-ever Two-Man Show for the celebrated emerging artists Carlos Rancano and Thomas Donaldson. The collection of painted works (oil on canvas & oil on paper) represent two very different techniques and philosophies - it is this difference, as seen exhibited together that personifies DAM’s vision for the future of figurative painting. · · · · · #thomasdonaldson #carlosrancano #figurativefutures #artexhibition #miamiexhibition #oilpaintings #figurativeart #contemporaryart #internationalart #DAM #DAMart #miamiartist #miamiart #miamigallery #wynwoodgalleries #instaart #artcollector #youngcollectors #artlovers #dailyart #art_spotlight (at The Directed Art Modern) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwKi2XpjHdA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dzj7rr501ini
