Sir Frank Bowling OBE RA (b.1934, British Guiana) lives and works in London, UK.

Over the course of six decades, Frank Bowling has relentlessly pursued a practice which boldly expands the possibilities and properties of paint. Ambitious in scale and scope, his dynamic engagement with the materiality of his chosen medium, and its evolution in the broad sweep of art history, has resulted in paintings of unparalleled originality and power. Bowling has been hailed as one of the foremost British artists of his generation.

Bowling moved from Guyana to London in 1953. He won a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Art in 1959 and graduated in 1962 with a silver medal for painting. He was a contributing editor for Arts Magazine from 1969 to 1972 and held teaching positions at many institutions, including lectureships at the University of Reading (until 1967); Columbia University, New York (until 1969); Rutgers (until 1970); and Massachusetts College of Art, Boston (1970–1). In 2005, Bowling became the first black artist to be elected to the Royal Academy of Arts. In 2008 he was awarded an OBE for his services to art and received a knighthood in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in October 2020. Recently, he was awarded the 2022 Wolfgang Hahn Prize by the Ge-sellschaft für Mod¬erne Kunst am Mu¬se¬um Lud¬wig.
