Nathan Bowen is a street artist primarily based in London, focused on breathing life into uninspiring urban areas, transforming them into colorful and engaging displays of creativity.
The Guerrilla Artist
As a guerrilla street artist operating under the agenda of an “art vigilante,” Nathan Bowen seeks out dull and lifeless spaces throughout London. He is known for his kinetic graffiti style and his ability to create animated characters with a playful and boisterous personality.
The 'Artistic Gangster'
Nathan Bowen describes himself as the "Artistic Gangster" when it comes to street art. By openly using his imagination, he transforms neglected spaces to create new and inspiring works of art. His style is unique, fast, dynamic, and unpredictable. His signature characters, known as “The Demons,” invade construction site hoardings all over London, using the streets as his personal gallery.
An Active Response During the Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Nathan Bowen was exceptionally active, spreading hundreds of his works, primarily focusing on construction site barriers. His iconic angular characters became a recognizable symbol among Londoners.
