Comments on: The Ultimate Proof of His Freedom: Frank Bowling’s abstract painting

From the moment I saw my first Frank Bowling, I sought out more. An appetite for his works grew exponentially with every new work I found. Then the corporeal gave way to cognition and we knew without pretence or bathetic insincerity, these are masterworks of a lyric virtuoso — no flaw was found.
His work is all the more perfect with the organic nature of his stitched canvas, where by the way, the stitch work is without fault, a tribute from one who knows a just enough to recognise a tailor’s art.
Sir Franklin O.B.E., is beyond my means to possess at this time, but to say nothing about his works would insult our own erudition in this realm of fine art. One more interesting observation comes from you writing about others whose works are in the same school — when I recently saw a work by Larry Poons, titled: “Vespyrs” 1980, we immediately thought of Sir Frank’s “Upright” as the perfected version, though one cannot even compare Sir Frank’s works; a force unto their own.

Was just introduced to Frank Bowling’s work. Oh My!

I cannot seem to find a place where I could purchase an art print of one o his paintings. Live in RI.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Martin
