Artist Biography

Back to Art, Prints & Posters Collection
George Bates

George Bates was born in London, England. He came to North America in 1954, living in Toronto and Los Angeles before settling in Vancouver, Canada, in 1956. His approach in his art, prints and posters draws from both the realist and impressionist traditions.

His influences toward art, prints and posters include British impressionist, Alfred Sisley, as well as the great marine painters Montague Dawson and Norman Wilkinson. George Bates also learned much from his friend of thirty years, Edwin C. Lockey. Bates is a Charter Member of the Canadian Society of Marine Artists and was elected Senior Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists in 1983.

Married, with three children, George Bates resides in West Vancouver. His favored subjects are the places he constantly revisits, and has come to know best through his art, prints and posters: The Pacific Northwest, California, and the American Southwest, but also the street scenes and landscapes of Europe, especially France and his first homeland, Britain.
