The artwork titled “Fishes” was created by Frank Bowling in 2011. It belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement and is classified as an abstract genre.
The artwork presents a vibrant burst of colors and textures, characteristic of Abstract Expressionism. Hues of yellow, blue, red, and purple intermingle with abstract forms and splashes of paint, creating a dynamic and visually stimulating composition. The use of varied textures and colors evokes a sense of movement and depth, reminiscent of an underwater scene teeming with life and activity. The abstract forms within the piece suggest the presence of fish, though they are not depicted in a literal sense. Instead, the viewer is invited to interpret the visual elements and their interactions, allowing for a personal and subjective experience. The overall composition is lively, with an emphasis on the fluidity and expressiveness of the paint, showcasing Frank Bowling’s mastery in abstract art.
