British Painter & Royal Academician, is one of the last remaining giants of Abstract expressionism. I been speaking with about the natute of the language we use when talking about painting.
Does language perform adequately, are there other examples that would better serve the nature and thought of painting.

The Dean of the Chelsea College of Art, George Blacklock, (greatly influenced by Frank Bowling).
Blacklock’s book on abstraction & colour looks towards these issues surrounding painting.

Frank Bowling, British Painter & Royal Academician, one of the last remaining Giants of Abstract expressionism.

Considered, one of the most remarkable colourists this country has ever produced.

A true Atlantician – soon after graduating from the RCA Bowling left for New York and found a place amongst the American Abstract ecpressionists.

Resonating and trembling, as all the best paintings do. They are tender objects that openly show their worrying, and forging exploration. It’s that relationship to openly displaying the process of thinking. The Dean of Chelsea College George Blacklock, whose paintings, have been influenced by Bowling’s work. Speaks Eloquently of finding the ‘true’ in Bowling’s work, a term more closely associated with the critcism of contemporary music.
