Sir Frank Bowling R.A. (British, born 1934)Hope Eternal 2022 acrylic and gel on canvas 21 by 25 cm. 8 1/4 by 9 13/16 in. FootnotesProvenance Collection of the artist, UK Artist Biography Over the course of six decades, Sir Frank Bowling R.A. 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. Born in Guyana (then British Guiana) in 1934, he arrived in London in 1953, graduating from the Royal College of Art with the silver medal for painting in 1962. By the early 1960s, he was recognized as an assured force in London's art scene. During this period, his highly individual language of painting, which emerged from expressionistic figuration and pop art, encompassed autobiographical elements and the artist's socio-political concerns.
