Introducing...Chris Acheson

Meet exciting new artist Chris Acheson.

Taking inspiration from Andy Warhol and popular street culture, Chris Acheson's work is vivid and humorous. A chance photograph of mannequins in a shop window inspired Chris' latest works.

The themes of Chris' work are varied but popular street culture, cinema and music are key. As are the album covers and film posters from his youth. Chris feels that his work could easily be recognised as his take on Roxy Music album covers and Hammer Horror film posters.

The detail and narrative possibilities in the work of Millais, Waterhouse and Hughes, together with artists local to Chris such as Vallette and Lowry, have also influenced his style.

The stagnant, staged interior world of the shop dummy is transformed by reflected random exterior image of a bustling street into an abstract and possibly humorous image. I like the way the two worlds collided.

Meet The Artist - Neil Dawson

Contemporary cityscape artist Neil Dawson will be joining us Live in the gallery this Saturday! Neil will be dedicating and talking about his brand new collection of signed limited edition and original art. Come along and do a bit of Christmas shopping and share a glass of mulled wine with us. 

Neil’s captivating cityscapes celebrate the beauty of the capital and its stunning architecture. Through his clever portrayal of light and reflections, Neil masterfully re-creates the electric atmosphere that is distinct to London. A selection of Neil's work from around the world will also be featured in the exhibition, with some artwork created especially for us here in Newcastle.


' I have always loved cities and find myself constantly drawn to their colour, vibrancy and energy - they are both infectious and consuming. They are full of intricate details and boldness, of light and dark and, most importantly, are constantly evolving.' 
Neil Dawson.

"Lawrence Coulson generously gives us what we like and need, those feelings of solitude and escape in wide open spaces under heavens so high they might reach to the edge of the universe."

Thank You!

We wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who attended our Meet The Artist event with Bob Barker on Saturday. 

It was a fantastic turn out and a resounding success! We received great feedback and everyone thoroughly enjoyed meeting Bob.

We were able to gain a valuable insight into Bob Barker's themes, inspirations and painting techniques.

A special thanks of course to Bob! 

It was great to have so many of you with us and we hope you will join us again for our next event (details to follow).

Bob Barker Event - Fast Approaching!

Only 1 week to go until Bob Barker is with us here in the gallery! 

We are extremely excited to welcome Bob and present his brand new collection Jumpers For Goalposts. 

We are also delighted to announce that Bob has created 3 original sketches and 2 original oils especially for the event with a Newcastle theme. 

Bob will be making himself available to chat and personally dedicate his brand new collection and hopefully letting us in on the secrets of his techniques, with a live painting!

Meet The Artist - Bob Barker

We are excited to announce that Bob Barker will be making an appearance in the gallery on Saturday 26th October between 1-4pm. 

Bob will be making himself available to chat and personally dedicate his brand new collection of limited edition and original artwork entitled Jumpers For Goalposts. We are hoping that Bob will also be doing a live painting whilst in the gallery which would be a fantastic opportunity to see him in action! 



Bob's art resonates with a great many of us, as he adeptly manages to convey the innocence of childhood through to the joie de vivre of adulthood. This collection is no exception; themed around Britain’s most popular sport, Barker takes us on a nostalgic journey beginning in the cobbled streets where children stage their very own Cup Finals each night after school.

For more information about this collection, to reserve a piece before the event or ask any questions please get in touch with us on 0191 233 2200 or email newcastle@castlegalleries.com.

You can also find out more here. 

We look forward to seeing you and Bob soon!

Best Wishes, 

The Newcastle Team.
