Denis Bowen was born in South Africa but spent his formative years in the North of England, attending Huddersfield School of Art in the 1930s. Following service in the Royal Navy during the war he was a student at the Royal College of Art; during the 1950s and 1960s he was an influential gallery director and exhibition organizer at the New Vision Centre Gallery, as well as an innovative abstract artist active in the avant garde.

His career as artist, teacher and critic has resulted in a world wide reputation and a wealth of exhibitions, more recently at the Belgrave Gallery to mark his 80th birthday and the publication of the monograph Denis Bowen by
Peter Davies.
