He was educated at Leeds High School and during the evenings studied at Leeds School Of Art under Gilbert Foster who was a pioneer of the art colony at Staithes.

Owen Bowen received his first paint box as a christmas present when he was four. His brother, Miles, provided his initial art training but he soon came under the influence of Gilbert Foster at evening classes in the Leeds School of Art and privately at his studio.

He first exhibited in 1888 at the age of fifteen. The Yorkshire Union of Artists was formed in that year and he was involved at the very outset, winning two medals in the amateur section. At the second annual exhibition, four of his landscapes were hung in prominent positions. A fracas with the secretary during the third annual exhibition resulted in his expulsion at the age of only seventeen.

He had his own studio at eighteen and started exhibiting at the Royal Academy the following year. During the subsequent years, he regularly visited Staithes. To assist these summer activities, he rented a cottage for over ten years at Robin Hood's Bay. He exhibited extensively and mounted two major exhibitions of his own work.

FAQs

Impressionist floral still life paintings emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on capturing the effects of natural light, colour, and loose brushwork rather than rigid detail. British artists often depicted seasonal garden blooms set in domestic ceramics, blending traditional subject matter with modern painterly techniques.

These works generally feature oil paints applied to stretched cotton or linen canvas, framed in swept composition frames made from wooden mouldings coated in plaster, moulded ornament, and leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces display age-consistent craquelure across the paint surface, genuine canvas aging or oxidation on the reverse, and a clear brushwork signature that matches documented examples from the artist.

Hang the painting as a focal accent on a painted feature wall, above a mantelpiece, or over a sideboard to bridge traditional character with contemporary decor schemes.

Keep the painting away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources, and gently dust the gilt frame with a soft, dry camel-hair brush without applying water, solvents, or commercial polishes.
