RONNIE WOOD - RAW INSTINCT EXHIBITION

‘Ronnie Wood: Raw Instinct’ is an exhibition of original art created by guitarist Ronnie Wood, who shot to fame as part of the The Rolling Stones.

Following its star-studded opening at the beginning of April, this exciting exhibition is now open to the public at our flagship gallery, Castle Fine Art on Bruton Street in London.

The collection consists of 100 works of original art, including never-before-seen pieces which feature instantly recognisable portraits of Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards, alongside a striking self -portrait.

We hope you can join us in the gallery to view this celebration of Wood's two successful creative worlds which brilliantly brings to life the raw energy and passion of The Rolling Stones.

Autumn in HerefordshireLAWRENCE COULSON - PERSONAL APPEARANCE

It is with great pleasure that we invite you into our gallery in Birmingham to meet acclaimed landscape artist, Lawrence Coulson as he launches his brand new collection of original and limited edition art, ‘Romanticism’.

SATURDAY 4 MAY 2013, 11AM-3PM

Perhaps Lawrence’s most accomplished body of work to date, this new collection has won the admiration of collectors and critics alike. David Lee, art critic and editor of The Jackdaw has said of the collection:

“A view across an open space to a distant, barely discernible landmark induces a feeling of security and well-being more cheaply and without the damaging side effects of any drug. It is entirely beneficial, and free. Fields, hedgerows, a stand of trees and a breath of wind, sunlight on the water – these are Nature’s own valium. And they are there, laid out unashamedly in Lawrence’s pictures, the spectacular and the particular waiting to be explored and enjoyed.”

HAMISH BLAKELY | SIMPLE PLEASURES

Castle Fine Art, ICC is privileged to bring you an exclusive exhibition of brand new original works by Hamish Blakely, entitled 'Simple Pleasures'.

Van Gogh said "what is done in love is well done", and this is what we are fortunate to see at work in Hamish's new collection.

Some of Hamish’s most evocative paintings are collaborations between artist and model, and it is the complete alignment of Hamish and his muse, Gail, that breathes love and intimacy into his figurative paintings.

Hamish's portrayal of light against texture, his mastery of technique and composition, combined with his ability to evoke a mood that we can share in, all assure his place as a modern master of figurative art.

Join us at Castle Fine Art, ICC on Saturday 23 March for the opening of the 'Simple Pleasures' exhibition, which runs until Friday 5 March.

Please contact the gallery for more details.

EXCLUSIVE FIGURATIVE EXHIBITION AT CASTLE FINE ART, ICC

Cesta de Flores by Royo.

Castle Fine Art, ICC is proud to present new original works by Royo and Douglas Hoffman alongside some stunning work by the late great Robert Heindel.

'Painter of light' Royo demonstrates his lifelong fascination with the females world and it's aesthetic in his work.

Choosing as his subject the women who are closest to him and share his daily life, his paitings captivate his collectors, which include promonent figures such as King Juan Carlos, and Queen Sofia.

Robert Heindel (1938-2005) was recognised in his lifetime as one of the greatest painters of contemporary dance, having created works of extraordinary power and poignancy.

"I will never tire of the spirit, energy and beatuy that performers have given me - a chance to be part of their world has been my constant inspiration for so mnay years." Heindel.

Douglas Hoffman combines unusual yet beautiful subject matter, often a mixture of traidiotn and extreme modernity, with his unparalleled technical ability, lifting his art into the realms of genius.

It is no surprise that one has to go back nearly 400 years to find the artist that Hoffman reveres; the inimitable Vermeer (1606-1669).
