Frank Bowling (Bartica, 1934. Lives and works in London) is a painter whose practice spans abstraction and experimentation with color, light, and geometry. He moved to London in 1953 and graduated from the Royal College of Art, where he received the silver medal for painting. Beginning with figurative work, he later developed a distinctive abstract language marked by large-scale compositions and the expressive possibilities of paint. His work is included in major collections such as Tate (London), the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), among others.
