Artist: Frank Bowling

Opening in June in Hong Kong, Hauser & Wirth presents Bowling’s first solo exhibition in Asia, bringing together a selection of historical and recent works that showcase Bowling’s mastery of surface texture.

Sir Frank Bowling OBE RA is widely regarded one of Britain’s most significant living artists. For over six decades, 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 was elected a Royal Academician in 2005, appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2008, and knighted in 2020 for his services to art. His works are held in major museum collections worldwide, including Tate, The Museum of Modern Art, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
