description: "Sir Richard Sheridan Patrick Michael Aloysius Franklin Bowling (né Richard Sheridan Franklin Bowling;\nborn 26 February 1934), known as Frank Bowling, is a British artist who was born in British Guiana. He is particularly renowned for his large-scale, abstract \"Map\" paintings, which relate to abstract expressionism, colour field painting and lyrical abstraction. Bowling has been described as \"one of Britain’s greatest living abstract painters\", as \"one of the most distinguished black artists to emerge from post-war British art schools\" and as a \"modern master\". British cultural critic and theorist Stuart Hall situates Bowling’s career within a first generation, or “wave” of post-war, Black-British art, one characterised by postwar politics and British decolonisation. He is the first black artist to be elected a member of the Royal Academy of Arts."
