Frank Bowling often used 'chance' in his artwork. In this particular painting, the circular shape on the canvas is a result of a paint pot leaving a ring, an innovative technique that he first explored in the 1980s and later used recurrently. Additionally, apparent outline of South America in the painting provides a broader context to the circular shape. This could be a reference to his well-known 'Map Paintings' series from the late 1960s.
