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

What our customers say
We’d like to share with you just a handful
from the many unsolicited comments received
from our customers around the world...
- The three prints I have are much admired and to me are outstanding. There
are not many good ship artists in the world. Mr Bauwens must rank as the
best.
WM, Ontario, Canada
- I have difficulty in finding sufficient expressions on receiving your
magnificent portrayal of the illustrious liner Queen Mary. Of equal
admiration is your outstanding artistry in producing such a gem of art.
GP, Tasmania
- I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your limited edition print Aquitania - The Ship Beautiful and to express both my thanks and my admiration for
your superb work; it is truly lovely. Thank you for keeping the engineers of
Clydesides traditionally high standards alive.
JH, Southampton, England
- I received your print Home Waters as a birthday present from my wife and I
wanted to write and tell you how much pleasure it has given me. The painting
captures a priceless moment in time, in which unfortunately I was unable to
take part as I was abroad, but one I can now share.
AM, Langbank, Scotland
- Thank you very much for the magnificent Queen Elizabeth print. What a
beautiful painting. You have captured the event of the great ship returning
after her trials superbly. The detail is amazing.
