Description
Self-portraits and role-play have been an area of expression within Rankin’s work throughout his career. Rankin de-constructs the illusion of self-representation in this series of portraits of himself. Digitally manipulated and hyper-real, they poke a humorous and irreverent stick at his own self-image, ranging from himself as a pointed-eared hairy pig, to his own bride to be, morphing into Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer, a human glitter ball and even The Spice Girls.
