Marc Ranger
Marc Ranger works from his studio in Toronto, Canada, creating large-scale paintings that emerge from intuitive, freehand mark-making. His practice explores themes of embodiment, movement, and queerness through gestural work that bridges fine art, design, and fashion. Ranger's paintings breathe emotion and presence into architectural interiors, with past clients including Gucci Beauty and Ludovic de Saint Sernin.
Ranger works with acrylic, oil, and pigment on canvas, developing each piece through an intuitive process that responds to color combinations encountered in everyday life. His approach prioritizes instinctive energy and primitive emotion over predetermined compositions, allowing figures to arise organically within their painted environments. The expressive quality of his linework brings what he describes as "body language" to each canvas, creating rhythm and movement that engages with surrounding spaces.
Ranger's recent collection focuses on color and atmosphere, with works like "Red and Blue" and "Sun and Sky" demonstrating his commitment to creating paintings he would want to live with. Each piece balances color's ability to create ambience with linear elements that introduce human presence and movement. His paintings function as both fine art objects and design elements, contributing energy and sensibility to the spaces they inhabit while maintaining their integrity as expressive artistic statements.
