Alexander Millar 'The Football Collection'

Due to the massive success of 'H'way the Lads' earlier this year Alexander Millar and Washington Green have teamed up (pun intended) to bring us a collection of six football inspired limited editions.


'The Big Match'


'Come On You Reds'


'Win, Lose or Draw'


'When Saturday Comes'


'Come On You Blues'


'Up The City'


All the images are of a low edition of 150 and are £399 Framed

Originals are available. Please contact the gallery directly on 0191 2332200 for further details.


If you are an Alexander Millar fan or a football fanatic, maybe both get in touch to secure your bit of football magic. You may have a special person who is difficult to buy for so one of these may be the perfect Christmas gift idea.

Nadeem In The Spotlight

Over the last few months we have increased our showing of artwork from Nadeem. The direct black and white images have really struck a cord with visitors to our gallery with a number of originals and limited editions now having a new home in the region.



Words from Nadeem..............

I have always been fascinated by light and the shadows, forms, mood and atmosphere it can create. During my time as a scenic artist I learnt so much from the artists I worked with, they have a vast knowledge of all aspects of art, light, perspective and colour. They are almost like modern day equivalents of the renaissance masters, taking on commissions and designs on a grand scale.



The characters I use could be each and every one of us at any time and they are large in order to represent the consumer society we live in. I choose to keep them anonymous by not showing their faces but give them their personality through body language and posture.



I like to keep an element of mystery about my paintings leaving them open to individual interpretation.


We will continue to increase our showing of Nadeem's work over the next few months. Please contact us for availability of original and limited edition work.

"Marilyn" Photography by Eve Arnold


In The Frame, The Misfits, 1960©Eve Arnold/Magnum Photos



We are delighted to present to you an exquisite collection of previously unpublished limited edition photographs by world renowned and award-winning Magnum photographer Eve Arnold.

These eight stunning photographs are all reproduced as limited edition giclées from the original negatives taken by Eve Arnold during her ten year friendship with Marilyn Monroe. The unique relationship between the two resulted in a body of work that portrays the Hollywood icon in a much more relaxed style, capturing her vulnerability as well as her luminous beauty.

This collection will be available to view in galleries from Saturday 14th August 2010.

Just as Marilyn’s iconic status is still popular today nearly 50 years after her death, these iconic limited editions will have an everlasting appeal on your walls for many years to come.

This is an exhibition NOT TO BE MISSED!

Pop Star Purchases Elephant


Andrea Corr MBE had 258 life-size painted, baby elephants to choose from in London’s biggest ever open air art exhibition this summer, but the pop star and charity fundraiser only had eyes for one. ‘Lover’ painted by Newcastle artist Jeff Rowland was the star of the Elephant Parade London 2010 as far as Ms Corr was concerned, as she bid a massive £26,000 at a star studded auction at Sotheby’s to secure the work of art. The remaining herd of elephants was sold via public auction online this month, raising a total of over £4million for the Elephant Family charity, which is dedicated to protecting and conserving the endangered elephants of Asia.



Newcastle’s ‘Rain Man’ artist, Jeff Rowland, who is well known for his cinematic art, painted an epic scene across the seated, life-size baby elephant. His painting depicted lovers meeting in a romantic 1940s railway station, with Rowland’s signature romantic rain falling over the elephant’s back.


Appropriately, Rowland’s elephant was displayed in Berkeley Square, London, during the parade, the location for the romantic song ‘A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square’; and it was the softer side of Rowland’s image that connected with big hearted Andrea Corr.

Jeff Rowland’s work, on more conventional canvas and paper, can be seen year round in Castle Galleries Newcastle thanks to a publishing deal with the UK’s leading fine art publishers – Washington Green Fine Art Publishing. In all, six of Washington Green artists painted life-size baby elephants to take part in the parade which helped contribute just under £100,000 to the £4 million total.
 
 
Congratulations to Jeff, the rather gorgeous Andrea Corr and The Elephant Parade London 2010 from all of us here at Castle Galleries Newcastle.
 
Anthony, Rachael, Sarah and Bethan.
