Titled “Landscape,” this exhibition of Frank Bowling’s recent vibrant and expansive paintings highlights the artist’s long-standing experimentation with material and process. Reminiscent of his “Map Paintings” from the late 1960s and early ’70s, the landscapes feature subtle chromatic gradations and horizons, bordered by bright greens, oranges and blacks; dripped and splashed onto the canvases, layers of paint are built up on the surfaces, sometimes collaged with found objects. With their dimensionality appearing like rippling water or sloping land, these works embody Bowling’s expressive use and mastery of paint and material while continuing his embrace of chance in his compositions.
