Biography

Artist background

Nathan Bowen is a London-based street artist whose practice grew from drawing, graffiti and intervention in the urban environment. His long-running After Lives idea centres on transforming tired or neglected surfaces into new visual features.

Bowen describes his own style as fast, energetic, emotional, funny and vigorous. His distinctive figures and scratchy linear marks have appeared across London and beyond, building a visual language that feels immediate, restless and deliberately handmade.

Alongside street work, Bowen produces paintings and signed editions. The same graphic energy carries across both: bold characters, direct storytelling and a sense that the image has been caught in motion rather than polished into stillness.
