Artists Series: Frank Bowling

An engaging introduction to the life and work of Frank Bowling, an accomplished master of his medium whose visionary and ambitious approach to light, colour and geometry continually pushes at the properties and possibilities of paint.

Frank Bowling (b.1934) is one of the foremost artists of his generation. His paintings – monumental in scale and scope, dynamic and flooded with luminous colour – are testament to his boundless creativity. His prolific body of work, from his large-scale map and poured paintings to his sculpture and collage, is demonstrative of not only his fluid approach to medium, but also his deft control of colour and light.

This book is an indispensable and poignant introduction to the life and work of Bowling. Charting his formative experiences in Guyana, England and the United States, it paints a portrait of an artist whose practice is shaped by his personal and cultural history, as well as by the seismic social and political changes of the twentieth century to which he was witness. In a career spanning over six decades, his experimental approach to light and texture has continually pushed at the possibilities of paint, developing a distinct visual language that is deeply immersed in the wider cultural debates of our time and cementing him as one of the most influential artists today.
