About GBMA

Amongst our highest accolades:

"With a youth spent in Glasgow - a city with a lively arts tradition - and in the Clydeside region when it was still producing some of the world's most famous ships, it is no wonder that Gordon Bauwens should have been attracted to the field of maritime art. Devoting his considerable talent to depicting these ships in his own realistic and attractive style has earned him acclaim from admirers of his work, of whom I am one among many."

The late SIR JOHN BROWN
- A chief designer of Queen Mary & Queen Elizabeth. Former Managing Director of the John Brown Shipyard, Clydebank.

 

"I may have dreamt up the ultimate ocean liner but only you could have captured QM2 on canvas as you have! Majesty at Sea is a wonderful painting... "

Stephen M Payne OBE, Chief Designer of Queen Mary 2

To share...

GB Marine Art was formed primarily to produce and market quality art reproductions from the paintings of Gordon Bauwens, one of Britain’s leading contemporary maritime artists. Our main aim is for fellow ship-lovers to share in the pleasure that this internationally renowned artist derives from the memorable maritime subjects and events he portrays in his paintings. By offering these works as high quality, individually-signed Lithographic and Giclee art prints, the considerable amount of care and time invested in the paintings can be appreciated by many more like-minded enthusiasts than would be possible for original paintings only.
