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.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Marine oil paintings from this era typically depict coastal scenes, shipping vessels, and harbour environments using impressionistic brushwork to capture shifting light and water conditions.

Artists generally worked with oil-based pigments applied to stretched linen canvas, cotton duck, or wooden panels, often framed in wooden or gilded mouldings.

Authenticity is evaluated through physical artist signatures, characteristic brush technique, contemporary stretchers or panel construction, and natural age indicators like varnish yellowing or stable surface craquelure.

A marine oil painting can be styled above a fireplace mantelpiece or console table, integrated into a gallery wall, or framed cleanly to complement neutral and coastal-inspired colour schemes.

Keep the canvas away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature changes, and high humidity, dusting gently with a clean, dry microfibre brush rather than liquid cleaners.
