Gordon Bauwens - Artist Details and Print Database

Gordon Bauwens

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1951, Gordon Bauwens' deep passion for ships and their environment was clearly kindled by his proximity to the River Clyde. As a schoolboy, he could often be found cycling among the River's docklands and shipyards - birth place of many of the world's greatest ships. Early paintings based on these images won him gold and bronze medals in regional schools art competitions. He regularly cycled the 30 mile round trip to Clydebank to watch progress on Queen Elizabeth 2, the last great Cunarder to be built on the Clyde. Witnessing her launch in 1967 from the river bank opposite John Brown's Shipyard, left a deep and lasting impression - and a burning ambition to one day stand on those famous decks. Employed by a marine engineering consultancy, Gordon's keen interest in ships helped him develop his own distinctive style in ship illustration, while gaining qualifications in technical graphics. Later, as a graphic designer for Education, he could clearly see the cranes of the former John Brown Shipyard from the studio he managed in Clydebank. Inspired by this, old passions resurfaced and Gordon started painting marine subjects again in his own time for pleasure, and as his work became known, on a commercial freelance basis. Encouraged by world-wide sales of his work, Gordon finally severed his 16 years of graphics employment in 1997 to concentrate full-time on his first love - maritime art. He and his wife, Christine, joined skills to become partners in their own business, GB Marine Art. In his paintings, Gordon Bauwens has earned a reputation for combining atmosphere with meticulous attention to detail - qualities much sought after in maritime art. As a result, he has fulfilled many long-held ambitions and been honoured to meet some eminent personalities in the maritime world. These include becoming friendly with the late Sir John Brown, chief designer of the original Cunard Queens and former Managing Director of John Brown's Shipyard; being welcomed aboard QE2 on the Clyde by Captain Robin Woodall during the liner's Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1994; staying on board Queen Mary as guest of the RMS Foundation in Long Beach, California; and having an original painting (Welcome Home QE2) purchased by the then Chairman of Cunard, Sir Eric Parker, for his personal office in London. Several examples of his work also hang in prominent positions in Cunard's head office. Reproductions of the artist's works have been purchased by customers in over 30 countries around the world to date, and currently retail on board QM2, QE2, Queen Mary, the former Royal Yacht Britannia etc, and in galleries and museums throughout the UK and overseas. Gordon also undertakes commissions for both private and commercial clients. Shipbuilders and shipping lines use his work to publicise their planned new vessels. He regularly produces artist's impressions of ships before they are built, his technical background enabling him to work from naval architects' plans. In 2000, Gordon received a prestigious commission from Cunard Line to produce their official artist's impression of the Queen Mary 2, the largest and most expensive passenger liner ever built. QM2 also displays a set of large oil paintings by Gordon, commissioned for public areas including the Grand Lobby. Gordon Bauwens' aim in his painting is to record some of the outstanding events in 20th and 21st Century maritime history and to pay tribute to the lives and skills which gave the world its finest ships. On a personal level, the artist as a Christian gratefully acknowledges the supreme Creator God as the ultimate Artist, Designer and Giver of all life and skills.

RMS Queen Mary - The Legend Begins by Gordon Bauwens.

The magnificent new Cunarder bids farewell to her birthplace - John Browns shipyard, Clydebank 24th March 1936.


Royal Rendezvous by Gordon Bauwens.

Throughout her later years on the North Atlantic, Cunard's Queen Elizabeth 2 cut a lonely swathe across the waters she was designed to traverse. Thanks to her foresighted dual-purpose design, clever marketing and iconic appeal as the 'last true liner', QE2 outlived all her sea-going competitors and seemed destined to be the last ever passenger liner to regularly ply the Atlantic. She also looked to be the final Queen in service for Cunard. However, in 1999 a decision was made to build on QE2's unique success by adding a giant new transatlantic liner, Queen Mary 2, to the Cunard fleet. Then, almost four years after QM2 entered service in 2004 as the new Company flagship, she and QE2 were joined by another new ship, MV Queen Victoria. Thus, since QV's maiden voyage in December 2007 until QE2's retirement in late 2008, three mighty Cunard Queens sailed concurrently for the first time ever. Unlike all previous Queens, which were unique one-off vessels, Queen Victoria was adapted from an existing design first created for Holland America Line's Vista-class cruise liners. While at 90,000 gross tons she is the second largest Cunarder ever built, Queen Victoria is in length and beam very similar to QE2, allowing passage through the Panama Canal. Built as a 5-star floating hotel, Queen Victoria's magnificent interiors boast many pieces of artwork by some of the world's leading artists. Gordon Bauwens is honoured to be represented by 12 maritime works commissioned and selected for public areas aboard this latest Cunarder. In addition to these, this latest painting, Royal Rendezvous, features the debutante Queen Victoria and legendary Queen Elizabeth 2 passing at sea, contrasting two distinct generations of Queens proudly flying the colours of one of the world's greatest shipping lines. As the much-loved QE2 retired in November 2008, the preceding months proved to be the last these two majestic Cunarders served together.


Memories of an Empress by Gordon Bauwens.

The Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Britain preparing for transatlantic departure from Greenock, 1960. Empress of Britain was built in 1956 for Canadian Pacific by Fairfields shipyard, Glasgow. Slightly larger than Sylvania, she too, with her sisters, was designed primarily to operate between the UK and Canada. Sylvania is shown on the Clyde with the paddle steamer Waverley in Caledonian Steam Packet colours.


Majesty at Sea by Gordon Bauwens.

Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2 on their historic combined transatlantic crossing, 25th April - 1st May 2004.


Caronia - Edwardian Elegance by Gordon Bauwens.

When completed in 1905, TSS Caronia, at nearly 20,000 gross tons, was the largest Cunarder to date. She was an important liner for Cunard in that she and her sister ship, Carmania, were built by John Brown on the Clyde to directly compare the performance of standard reciprocating steam engines with the revolutionary new steam turbine propulsion plant. Known as the Pretty Sisters throughout their long and successful careers, Caronia and Carmania were identical other than in their propulsion units and were effectively test beds for the machinery of the two express transatlantic liners Cunard were planning - the giant sister ships, Lusitania and Mauretania. As the turbine-driven Carmania proved over two knots faster than Caronia, turbine engines were chosen for the subsequent record-breaking Lusitania and Mauretania liners and became the standard method of propulsion used right up until QE2 was built for Cunard in 1969 then re-engined with diesel-electric engines in the 1980s. Edwardian and Victorian engineering excellence are beautifully represented by TSS Caronia and London's Tower Bridge in this bustling Thames River scene.


Her Majestys Royal Yacht Britannia by Gordon Bauwens.

The order to build a Royal Yacht as replacement for the obsolete Victoria and Albert was placed in February 1952 with John Brown & Co Ltd. The Clydebank yard won this contract largely because of its experience in building the prestigious Cunard Queens and Caronia. Launched in April 1953 by Her Majesty the Queen, Britannia was the most modern in a long line of Royal Yachts dating back to King Charles IIs Mary, 1660. Britannia was designed as a dual function vessel - as a Royal Yacht in peacetime an as hospital ship in times of hostility. Although built under post war austerity conditions, she provided a classical, well-balanced profile, with meticulous attention paid to detail. Features included innovative funnel design, bulbous bow, stabilisers, superstructure tested in a wind tunnel, and the steel hull rivetted than machined flush above the waterline to give an immaculate finish. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh took personal interest in the interior design, choosing for the Royal apartments simple decor incorporating white painted walls, mahogany and brass. Exquisite furnishings and objet dart provided embellishment, with many items retained from previous Royal vessels. Throughout Britannias 43 year active life, her appearance remained flawless, inside and out, despite having steamed well over 1 million miles. In service Britannia became a fitting symbol of Britains proud maritime heritage, and in retirement, will continue as a showcase for British shipbuilding at its best. The painting shows Britannia with the Forth Rail Bridge in the background.


The Grandeur of the Queens by Gordon Bauwens.

On 13 January 2008, a unique event in maritime history took place when Cunard's three magnificent Queens met in New York Harbor for the first and last time. The legendary Queen Elizabeth 2 led the regal procession under the Verrazano Bridge during her final world cruise. QE2 had also just enjoyed a combined transatlantic crossing with her brand new fleetmate, Queen Victoria, on the first leg of her own maiden world cruise. As the pair approached the entrance to the Hudson, they were joined by the mighty Cunard flagship, Queen Mary 2, to make a grand entrance the likes of which Lady Liberty will never see again. In life, the majestic trio arrived and left in darkness. Artist Gordon Bauwens, whose work hangs aboard all three Cunard Queens, was commissioned to portray the event as many would have preferred, with the liners dramatically bathed in early morning sun.


River Portraits, the Liner Sylvania by Gordon Bauwens.

Cunard added four new liners to their passenger fleet during the 1950s. All were built by John Brown & Co Ltd, Clydebank, for the St Lawrence route to Quebec City and Montreal, Canada. Fourth in this quartet of sisterships, which included Saxonia, Ivernia and Carinthia, Sylvania was also the last ever Cunarder designed exclusively for North Atlantic trade. Launched in November 1956, she entered service the following summer with Liverpool and Greenock her UK ports. Sylvania maintained a reliable and regular service on her Canadian route until 1961 before transferring to the New York run as replacement for the ex-White Star motorship, Britannic. In 1965 she began a new role in Mediterranean cruising, initially sailing from Liverpool then Gibraltar. Two years later she emerged from a refit with white hull and her own hovercraft. As with her sisters, Sylvanias primary transatlantic career had been all too quickly overtaken by jet air travel, inevitably leading to her sale by Cunard in 1968. However, her useful life was far from over. As the Albatros, she was still operating in the Bahamas at the time of writing.


RMS Queen Elizabeth - Fit for a Queen by Gordon Bauwens.

In 1946 the daunting task of restoring Queen Elizabeth from grey troop carrier into the stateliest of liners was shared between the Clyde and Southampton. Cunard allowed John Brown & Co, the Elizabeths builders, just 10 weeks to transform the vessels structure as she lay at anchor at the Tail othe Bank. The most striking aspect of this work, as the liners drab wartime coat was chipped away, was how in stages from bow to stern, she gradually emerged in gleaming Cunard colours. This phase completed, the vessel returned to Southampton to be refitted with her original furnishings and for dry docking. Setting out for Scotland once more, Commodore Bisset learned that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Princess Elizabeth and Margaret Rose would join the revitalised vessel on the Clyde for her trials on October 8. On one run over the measured mile off Arran the Queen, invited by the Commodore, took the wheel while her two daughters recorded the time taken with stop watches. Then, her speed trials over, the ship headed back to the Tail othe Bank where the steamer Queen Mary II would take the Royal Party back to Greenocks Princes Pier. En Route, as the sleek Cunarder cleared the sweeping bend between Gourock and Strone, the early evening sun highlighted her shining new paintwork. Framed by the autumn tinted hills, she shared the moment with PS Jupiter and the little Clyde puffer, Ardfern.


Caronia - Of Noble Heritage by Gordon Bauwens.

Cunard's most recent liner to bear the name, Caronia (lll), was for many people one of the finest cruise ships afloat. Coupled with her popularity with passengers and crew as an extremely well-appointed vessel, Caronia was admired by ship-lovers everywhere as a truly classic liner with particularly attractive lines and well-balanced profile. Completed in 1973 as the Vistafjord by Swann Hunter Shipbuilders on Tyneside for Norwegian America Line, she was effectively the last major passenger vessel to be constructed in England. Inheriting much of her classic lines from Sagafjord, her older and slightly smaller sistership, Vistafjord's external appearance has remained largely unspoiled throughout her long career as cruise liner. When Vistafjord joined the Cunard fleet in 1983, she retained her name and much of her existing colour scheme, including the attractive dove-grey hull. Externally, only her new red and black funnel and modest Cunard housestyle lettering beneath her bridge wings proclaimed she was now a Cunarder. After Cunard Line came under Carnival ownership, plans ensued to give Vistafjord a new image and in December 1999 she first appeared at a renaming ceremony in Liverpool, resplendent with black hull and additional upper cabins, as the new Caronia. 2003 saw another change of owner, name and livery, but it is in Caronia guise Gordon Bauwens has painted this fine portrait of the popular liner in his highly detailed style.


RMS Queen Mary - Maritime Masterpiece by Gordon Bauwens.

Constructing Yard Number 534 at the John Brown shipyard in Clydebank was truly one of the outstanding achievements in the history of shipbuilding. Unprecedented media interest followed progress on the vast hull taking shape on the banks of the River Clyde. The first British vessel to exceed 1,000 feet in length, she was also the largest moving man-made object built to date. Launched in 1934, RMS Queen Mary was completed two years later. In building the Mary and her consort, Queen Elizabeth, Cunard hoped to recover their, and Britain's, supremacy on the highly competitive North Atlantic passenger sea route. Queen Mary's builder's trials took place in April 1936 amid the estuarial islands of the Clyde, her river of birth, with all eyes especially focused on her high speed runs off Arran. And perform she did! With a top speed of 32.84 knots recorded, Queen Mary easily satisfied Cunard's requirements and ultimately overcame the challenge of her French arch-rival, Normandie, to hold the prestigious Blue Riband trophy from 1938 until 1952. This highly detailed painting by Gordon Bauwens portrays RMS Queen Mary as she returns from sea trials among the scenic islands of the Clyde. In the background, passengers aboard the paddle steamer, Caledonia, enjoy the thrill of encountering the giant new Cunarder at such close quarters.


Queen Mary 2 - A Legacy of Pride by Gordon Bauwens.

Celebrating her first five years in service, Cunard's stately flagship, Queen Mary 2, embarked on her maiden round-Britain cruise in October 2009. During this special voyage, QM2 entered Clyde waters for the first time on October 19, paying homage to the river which began the Cunard dream in 1840 and built over 100 of her illustrious predecessors. Outstanding among these were, Britannia, the very first Cunarder, Lusitania, Aquitania, Caronia, and of course, QM2's legendary Queen predecessors, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, and the iconic QE2. All were launched into these same Clyde waters before playing their parts in making the name of Cunard so highly esteemed throughout the maritime world. This highly detailed painting by Gordon Bauwens portrays QM2 as originally scheduled around sunset and escorted by PS Waverley. The mighty flagship is seen bidding farewell to the Clyde, bound for Liverpool. In this, QM2 followed exactly in the wakes of the very first Clydebuilt Cunarder, Britannia, and the last, QE2, during her emotional farewell round-Britain cruise in October 2008.


RMS Titanic - A Day to Remember by Gordon Bauwens.

Second in the trio of superliners planned to eclipse their competition on the lucrative north Atlantic route, Titanic was launched from Harland & Wolffs Belfast shipyard on 31st My 1911. Timed to coincide with her sister ship Olympics departure, White Star achieved the desired publicity with around 100,000 witnessing the grand occasion. Designed for luxury rather than speed, Titanic cost around 1.5 million pounds, and was undoubtedly one of the most elegant liners built during the golden era of sea travel. Postponed for 24 hours due to high winds, her builders trials took place on 2 April 1912. Tugs arrived around 6am to ease the massive hulk through the Victorian Channel and out to Belfast Lough where Titanic could proceed for the first time under her own power. Signal burgee A hoisted, the liner then underwent rigorous and carefully measured tests within the Lough until, in the early afternoon, she turned her bow towards the open Irish Sea for running trials. Steaming south for two hours brought Titanic within view of County Downs Mourne Mountains and lighthouse of St Johns Point. Here the vessel carried out a broad 180 degree turn before heading back to Belfast to receive her Board of Trade passenger certificate, good for one year from today, 2-4-1912. Shortly after 8pm, Titanic finally left for Southampton and, in darkness, bade farewell to the coastline she would never sea again.


Aquitania - The Ship Beautiful by Gordon Bauwens.

December 1909 saw Cunards directors authorise a new liner to operate in union with Mauretania and Lusitania, offering a three-ship weekly transatlantic express service - a long held Company dream. Among the details, they specified that the new vessel should be constructed of the very best materials, finished complete in a first class style of workmanship to the entire satisfaction of the owners. In Aquitania, John Browns Clydebank shipyard surpassed Cunards criteria by creating what many have described as the most beautiful four funnelled liner ever built. Known throughout most of her long and successful career as the Ship Beautiful, she was in a class of her own. The combination of almost perfect external proportions along with spectacular interiors, endeared her to all. Sea going manners were equally impeccable with her captain on the maiden voyage exclaiming, her steadiness and lack of vibration are phenomenal. During Aquitanias career of almost 36 years, she carried a total of 1.2 million passengers over 3 million miles and crossed the Atlantic 442 times and served faithfully throughout the two world wars as troop carrier and hospital ship. The worlds last surviving four funnelled liners life was further extended as a post-war immigrant ship before finally sailing to the breakers in February 1950. Dignified and incredibly beautiful to the end, her demise saddened thousands whose lives she had touched across the years. The painting shows Aquitania on builders trials in May 1914, in the background PS Glen Sannox en route from Arran to Ardrossan sets course to pass astern of Aquitania and a southbound trading brig.


QE2 - Transatlantic Arrival by Gordon Bauwens.

Few waterfronts in the world are as instantly recognisable and admired as New York. Cunard first used the port in 1847 and its vast liners became almost as much a part of the Citys image as its famous skyline thereafter. Transatlantic legends bearing immortal names such as Lusitania, Mauretania, Aquitania, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth all graced this famous waterfront. And now, having already sailed well over four million miles since her own maiden arrival, QE2 still proudly bears the Cunard insignia into New York harbour, looking more majestic with each passing year. The magnificent liner is enjoying a traditional fireboat welcome while being met by Moran tugs. Manhattans twin towers and the distant Statue of Liberty shimmer in the early evening sun as overhead, Concorde banks to give her passengers a glimpse of the spectacular panorama below. It is apt that his fine portrait of the last Clyde-built Cunarder is by an artist whose charted her growth from steel skeleton into elegant ocean greyhound, culminating in her launch viewed from across the Clyde in 1967. He was received by QE2s captain when presenting the liner with a framed print for her 25th Anniversary in 1994, the original painting having been purchased by the Chairman of Cunard.


SS Sir Walter Scott by Gordon Bauwens.

The handsome steamship, Sir Walter Scott, which sails Loch Katrine in the Trossachs, is named after the author who highlighted the area in his poem of 1810, The Lady of the Lake. Since then, this tranquil wooded loch mirroring the majestic mountain Ben Venue at its easterly end, has been popular with visitors from all over the world. Cruising on SS Sir Walter Scott provides the perfect opportunity for visitors to share the authors passion for this scenic jewel in the heart of Scotland. When she entered service in 1900, this elegant little steamer - measuring 110 feet by 19 feet beam and weighing 110 tons - was not particularly unusual, with many inland lochs offering similar pleasure sailings. Sir Walter Scott began life at William Denny & Brothers in Dumbarton, but was not launched from the shipyard. She was taken instead in knocked-down form by barge up Loch Lomond, then overland by horse-drawn carts to Loch Katrine for re-assembly. Now, she is unique as the only surviving screw-steamer in regular passenger service in Scotland, her sleek hull still powered by the original triple-expansion steam engine. As Loch Katrine is also Glasgow Citys water supply, every effort was taken in her design to minimise pollution. Indeed, it is for this reason she still operates as a solid-fuel burning steamer while most comparable vessels have converted to diesel propulsion. To sail on board the Sir Walter Scott with the dramatic visual backdrop slowly unfolding, the gentle rhythms of the almost-silent steam engine and soft lapping water, makes for an enchanting experience few ever forget.


Reflections by Gordon Bauwens.

At Waverleys launch on a misty October morning in 1946, few could have conceived that she was destined to proudly bear the title of the worlds last sea-going paddle steamer. Even in 1974, when sold to the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society for the nominal fee of 1 pound, most were grateful that Waverley was saved from the breakers, albeit as a static museum piece. Some enthusiasts with a greater vision, however, realised her true potential, and now, over two decades later, the steamers fine lines are familiar, not only her native Clyde waters, but right round the British coastline and beyond. When built, the vessel was just one of many powered by triple expansion steam engines. The powerful, thrusting pistons and immense driving cranks became compulsive viewing for succeeding generations of Clydesiders on their annual trips doon the watter. Today, Waverley is the only vessel of her class still offering this thrilling experience. PS Waverley continues to inspire feelings of pride and affection wherever she sails. Truly fulfilling that earlier vision, she has become living testament to those qualities which made Clyde-built ships renowned throughout the maritime world, and to the special skills which keep this graceful old paddle steaming towards the 21st century. The Waverley is pictured on the tranquil waters of the Clyde near Erskine.


Welcome Home QE2 by Gordon Bauwens.

Featuring Queen Elizabeth 2 on her first homecoming to the river where she began her illustrious career, this painting captures the supreme elegance of the liner in the beautiful Firth of Clyde. As a backdrop, Hunters Quay and Dunoon nestle beneath the hazy blue hills of the Cowal peninsula, enjoying this brief reminder of when the river was one of Britains busiest shipping thoroughfares. In over 250 years of shipbuilding on the Clyde some 35,000 new vessels witnessed this lovely vista. The occasion which brought about QE2s only appearance on these waters for over 20 years was Cunards 150th Anniversary celebrations in 1990. Four years later the mighty QE2 again returned to the Clyde as part of her Silver Jubilee cruise programme. At the end of a memorable day, with the sun glistening off her giant hull and superstructure, the majestic Queen glided past those same blue hills.
