Episode 1: Ranald Macdonald All Mouth Gallery Podcast

All Mouth co-founders Jack Chauncy and Georg Wilson chat to Ranald Macdonald about two artworks, 'Up in the Air' (2020) by Ranald Macdonald and 'Sketchers by the Stream' (1951) by Milton Avery.
Ranald Macdonald graduated from City & Guilds Art School in 2020 and is now enrolled on the Drawing Year at The Royal Drawing School. Ranald's work is about the experience of reality and its relationship to visual media. Working from imagination, he draws on visual cliches and archetypes from art history and popular culture to make imagery. Ranald is interested in figures that have both a hieroglyphic-like readability, and yet also through their overuse, a strange emptiness, like a word repeated too many times.
"I see my process as an excavation whereby the characters lead me to an image, which when rendered faithfully can have its own life, becoming a liminal space between the real and the imagined to be entered and experienced on its own terms."
