Meet The Artist - Lawrence Coulson



Lawrence Coulson | Meet The Artist

We are excited to announce that Lawrence Coulson will be making a personal appearance in the gallery on Sunday 3rd November between 12-3pm.

Lawrence will be available to chat and dedicate his brand new collection of signed limited edition and original artwork. 

For his new body of work, Lawrence has continued to be inspired by the Old Masters such as Turner and Friedrich. Building on his critically acclaimed collection, Romanticism, Lawrence has created pieces conveying the beauty and majesty of the British landscape.

"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."
David Lee, Editor of The Jackdaw 

We are extremely lucky to have such a large number of stunning originals on display here in Newcastle. Here are just a few...

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! 

Jumpers For Goalposts, Bob Barker

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.

Peter Smith - Bloodlines - IN THE GALLERY NOW!


BLOODLINES

It’s been nearly two years since the original Lost Impossimals made their debut in The Complete Twistory collection after our story opened with the discovery in 2010 of a forgotten crate at the National Museum of Antiquities.


A crate full with paintings of Lost Impossimals, creatures painted by the equally mysterious explorer Charles Burroughs whose diaries and field notes found along with them helped us understand that there is a secret history, a natural twistory to the Lost Impossimals intertwined with our own.

Over the last twelve months I have worked on just twelve paintings, each one starting with a scene built in miniature, scenes that have covered streets, kitchens, meadows, shops, clock towers, underwater and even one set in a fortune telling amusement cabinet.

To all that was added objects, a little fewer than three hundred were painted with weird items like sandwiches, bank notes, guns, false teeth and balloon whisks. Add a sprinkle of hidden objects, codes to break and things to find twisted with popular culture and icons to mix it all up. Then came the names, a Slurping Sipper Slosher, The Rampant Jekylled Whatabanker, not your normal names I think you would agree.

Finally the stories, a series of letters passed between two people that chart the discovery and history behind each painting culminating in a murderous game of cat and mouse.

Hidden in the paintings is a solution, a solution to a murder revealed for the first time in letters passed between the museum and Perplex Research, the laboratory investigating the latest batch of Lost Impossimals.

So welcome to the research site for Bloodlines, a mentally unstable dash through history where you will discover just what the Lost Impossimals are really all about and maybe solve a murder before the body count rises…

This fantastical new body of work from Peter Smith is currently on display here at Castle Fine Art Newcastle so why not come and join us here in the gallery and join in with this dark and deadly adventure!

All of these pieces are available to purchase immediately so place your order today to avoid disappointment! All pieces can be reserved with a deposit which is fully refundable should you change your mind at a later date.In the case of the 'Tuppenny Pennysaurus (remarques edition)', each piece has been personally hand embellished by Peter himself with various additional sweets making no two pieces the same. With only 75 of each pieces available, it won't be long before all of these pieces have completely sold out.

There is a limited amount of original artwork to accompany this series and all of our artwork is available to purchase using interest free. 

For further details please contact the gallery on 0191 2332200 or email us at newcastle@castlefineart.com. 

We look forward to hearing from you soon,

Best wishes,

The team at Newcastle,

Bob Barker Release Marks The Start Of Autumn Offerings

The weather is drifting away from the wonderful warmth of summer now, and although this is a shame for many, here at Castle Fine Art Newcastle, we can think of two great reasons to celebrate. August marks the kick off of another football season and Castle Fine Art prepares to flood galleries with the Autumn collection.

We all know how devoted Geordie's are to football, so we hope you all share our excitement in seeing a new collection of football themed works by Northern artist Bob Barker, ahead of the official Autumn collection. 

The title of the works, "Jumpers For Goalposts" perfectly captures the nostalgia for evenings spent with friends playing the nations favorite game, dreaming of playing on a larger scale, only to be awakened by the shouts of parents calling you home! 

The release includes a number of original oil paintings, and pencil sketches, as well as five signed limited edition prints. The prints, as pictured below, are now on display at the gallery, so feel free to call by and take a look for yourself. 

Feel free to call us on 0191 2332200, or email newcastle@castlegalleries.com with any questions, queries, or to reserve one of these wonderful pieces.  

We look forward to hearing from you soon, or visiting the gallery in the near future.

Best wishes, 

The Newcastle Team..
Sarah, Mandy, Steph and Holly.
