Nathan Bowen
Bold, character-led work that sits between street-pop energy and illustration — funny on the surface, with real tenderness underneath. Nathan builds worlds that speak to childhood, memory, care and the everyday chaos of growing up.
Biography
Nathan Bowen creates character-driven work that feels instantly familiar — the kind of image you can read in a second, then keep finding new meanings in the longer you live with it. His practice is rooted in storytelling: friendships, family life, childhood memories, and the emotions we don’t always have the words for.
The style is bold and graphic, but never empty — there’s always a human “tell” in the posture, the eyes, the small symbols. It’s playful, yes, but it’s also honest. That’s why the work connects.
A world built through characters
Bowen’s work sits in that sweet spot where illustration meets contemporary pop — clean lines, punchy colour, and characters that feel like people you’ve met. There’s a sense of movement and attitude, but also warmth.
The compositions read from across the room, then reward you up close: expressions, hidden details, tiny references — the stuff that turns an image into a story.
