Caesar's Plume
BOWLING, Frank
(Artist)
Frank Bowling's 'poured' paintings explore the balance between chance and intention in painting. Contrasting colours are poured at height onto canvas. Bowling then intervenes in this chance arrangement - the canvas is held aloft, laid down, turned and twisted. Bowling was the first black artist to be elected to the Royal Academy, in 2005.
