关于此艺术品
Wintergreens — Frank Bowling
One of the modern masterpieces in the RA Collection, Wintergreens was made in 1986, the year Frank Bowling moved to a studio with a view of the Thames in Limehouse, London. He’s referred to the city as “Turner’s town” and the scale of this painting has attracted comparisons with the ambitious landscapes of past artists such as Turner and Constable.The title refers to plants that keep their leaves throughout winter, also known as evergreens. With its colours and textures of winter vegetation, Tate curator Zoe Whitley has likened this work to “a network of bamboo, reeds, and cattails in a stagnant pond”.To make this work, Bowling added layer upon layer of material. Strips of acrylic foam (a material used in commercial packing) were attached to the canvas, creating a gridlike structure onto which he applied thick layers of paint and translucent acrylic gel. This weighed down the foam, pulling it into new shapes. Bowling then created a new substance by mixing gel and pigment, which he applied in thick layers with a spatula. The quick-drying properties of acrylic paint (as opposed to oil) allowed him to quickly pile on layers of paint. In among the paint, Bowling nested an assortment of unusual objects, including the cap of a film canister and even a plastic toy owl.In this painting and others, Bowling is exploring the complexity of the world rather than reducing it to legible images. The crusted, swamplike texture of the painting seems to challenge the possibility of seeing clearly altogether. The curator of Bowling’s Mappa Mundi exhibition Okwui Enwezor has written that Wintergreens provides a “deeply sceptical vision” of the sublime, far removed from the vastness and grandeur of artists such as Turner.
艺术家与博物馆
出生地 Bartica, Guyana
In the vast, textured landscapes of contemporary abstraction, few names resonate with as much profound authority as Frank Bowling. Born in 1934 in the riverside town of Bartica, British Guiana, Bowling’s journey is one of remarkable movement—not just across continents, but through the very layers of paint and medium itself. His arrival in Britain as a young man marked the beginning of a career that would fundamentally reshape the trajectory of post-war British art. As a pioneer of color field painting and lyrical abstraction, Bowling did not merely paint surfaces; he constructed worlds that evoke the geological, the cartographic, and the deeply psychological.
Bowling’s formative years in the United Kingdom saw him immersed in the rigorous creative environments of the Regent Street Polytechnic and the Chelsea School of Art. By 1959, his talent earned him a prestigious scholarship to the Royal College of Art, placing him at the heart of a revolutionary generation. Alongside luminaries such as David Hockney and R.B. Kitaj, Bowling was part of a cohort that challenged the boundaries of British experimentalism. It was during this period that the echoes of American Abstract Expressionism—the monumental legacies of Mark Rothko and Barnative Newman—began to resonate within his work, inspiring a fascination with vast, immersive canvases that prioritize emotional resonance over representational clarity.
The mid-1960s heralded the emergence of Bowling’s most iconic contribution to the art world: the 'Map' series. These groundbreaking works eschewed traditional imagery in favor of a complex, fluid language of color and texture. In these paintings, the artist utilized the technique of pouring diluted paint onto canvas, allowing pigments to bleed, stain, and coalesce into shapes that suggest continents, oceans, and shifting borders. This approach transformed the canvas into a living topography, where the boundaries between land and sea, or self and other, become beautifully blurred.
What truly distinguishes Bowling’s technique is his daring exploration of materiality. He famously incorporated industrial substances such as asphalt and resin into his compositions, creating heavy, tactile surfaces that possess a physical weight and geological presence. This use of non-traditional media was more than a stylistic choice; it was a deliberate gesture against the polished aesthetic conventions of his era. Through these rugged textures, Bowling explored themes of globalization, cultural displacement, and the anxieties of a post-colonial world, making his work as much about political identity as it is about formal beauty.
The historical significance of Frank Bowling extends far beyond the aesthetic realm. As one of the most distinguished Black artists to emerge from the post-war British art school system, his success represents a pivotal moment in the diversification of the British canon. His career has been defined by a series of monumental achievements that have cemented his status as a modern master:
Royal Academy Recognition: Bowling holds the distinction of being the first Black artist to be elected a member of the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts.
Global Institutional Presence: His works are held in the world's most esteemed collections, including Tate Britain, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Critical Retrospectives: Major exhibitions, such as his landmark 2019 retrospective at Tate Britain, have allowed the world to witness the evolution of his "New York Years" and his enduring influence on lyrical abstraction.
Today, Frank Bowling remains a singular figure whose work continues to breathe and evolve. Whether through the vibrant energy of pieces like 'Who’s Afraid of Barney Newman' or the atmospheric depth of 'Wintergreens', he invites the viewer into a space where color is not just seen, but felt. His legacy is etched into the very fabric of modern art—a testament to the power of abstraction to navigate the complexities of the human experience.
正在展出于 伦敦, 英国
步入皇家艺术学院，仿佛进入了一处自1768年以来便脉动着创作灵魂的圣殿。坐落于伦敦心脏地带的它，绝非仅仅是一座陈列静止遗迹的博物馆，而是一个充满活力的英国艺术熔炉，持续塑造着国家的文化认同。与许多主要作为学术档案库而存在的机构不同，皇家艺术学院始终是一座独特的、由艺术家主导的堡垒，致力于服务于那些为画布和雕塑注入生命的人们。学院的诞生植根于乔治三世国王的远见以及约书亚·雷诺兹等先驱人物的开拓精神，其初衷在于通过赞助与实践，培养卓越成就，并为美术艺术的繁荣提供舞台。
伯灵顿宫建筑的宏伟壮丽，为这场永不落幕的艺术戏剧提供了完美的舞台。这座由威廉·钱伯斯设计的宏伟帕拉第奥式杰作，其本身散发出的永恒优雅，恰好映衬了馆藏作品的深厚底蕴。当参观者漫步于对称的外立面与光影交织的画廊之间时，他们能感受到一种历史与当代实验并存的氛围。从宽敞的主画廊——那里适合对大型杰作进行深度沉思；到那些孕育着下一代天才的私密教室与工作室，这座庄园的每一个角落都旨在激发人们的敬畏感与参与感。
墙内珍藏的馆藏是一场关于英国审美意识演变的精心策划之旅。这是一次深思熟虑的选择，它避开了堆砌式的繁杂，转而追求深刻的意蕴，专注于捕捉各个时代社会细微差别与情感深度的作品。人们可能会被乔治时代庄重的肖像画所吸引，雷诺兹大师级的笔触捕捉到了贵族的优雅；亦或是被安杰莉卡·考夫曼画布中展现出的理智清澈所打动。学院的力量在于其能够将这些历史脉络与维多利亚时代风景画的崇高美感编织在一起，例如约翰·康斯特布尔的作品，通过细腻的细节和动人的色彩，唤起了英国乡村那持久不衰的力量。
然而，皇家艺术学院拒绝仅仅锚定于过去。它与当下保持着动态的对话，积极引入挑战传统美学与形式观念的当代作品。这种对“新”的追求，在传奇般的夏季展览中得到了最著名的体现。自1769年以来，这一公开征集的传统实现了艺术世界的民主化，让成名大师与新兴力量能够并肩而立。对于收藏家或室内设计师而言，这种历史底蕴与当代锋芒的融合提供了无穷无尽的灵感源泉，使学院成为一个至关重要的枢纽——在这里，昨日的故事正启迪着明日的杰作。
除了其永久珍藏外，皇家艺术学院还通过一系列堪称壮丽的临时展览脱颖而出。通过汇集来自国家美术馆和英国博物馆等全球知名机构的标志性作品，学院提供了与世界上一些最负盛名的艺术品进行罕见近距离接触的机会。这些策划精良的展览不仅展示美感，更深入探讨了每一笔触背后的技术卓越性与历史语境，为资深鉴赏家和好奇的新手都提供了丰富的教育体验。
对于那些渴望沉浸在艺术卓越本质中的人来说，皇家艺术学院提供了无与伦比的氛围。无论是通过其历史剧院举办的启发性讲座，还是在备受瞩目的季节性展览中见证最新趋势的机会，这座机构始终是一个艺术不仅被观察，而且被积极辩论与赞颂的地方。它证明了远见卓识的持久力量，确保了伯灵顿宫始终是文化遗产的灯塔，以及全球艺术社区的基石。
