2025 - A Year of Celebration at Castle Fine Art
2025 is a very exciting year at Castle Fine Art, as it marks our 30-year anniversary and many of our artists are also celebrating a decade (or even two) working with us!
Opening the first ever ‘Castle Galleries’ in Stratford-Upon-Avon in 1995, we had just one goal in mind – to share the joy of fine art. Over the years, many things have changed, including our name, but that goal has stayed the same. For 30 years, we have devoted ourselves to building a team of friendly experts, working with the highest calibre of artists and continually listening to our clients to ensure our pure love of art remains at the heart of what we do.
As we have grown from a single gallery to a network of 38 nationwide, our artists and collectors have grown alongside us, continuing to connect over a shared passion for art. Join us as we spotlight some of our incredible artists who are celebrating milestone anniversaries with us this year.
Jon Jones
Painting figures from the silver screen, music idols and the infamous Peaky Blinders, Jon Jones has captured some incredibly recognisable characters in his signature black and white palette. His work adorns the walls outside Birmingham’s New Street Station, bringing a touch of Brummie history to the city’s Hill Street. This 50-metre-long mural was created in support of Birmingham’s Children’s Hospital Charity.
Known for celebrating his Birmingham roots, Jones has sought inspiration from the city for his upcoming collection. Painting some of the city’s most iconic faces, he has delved further into his love of local heritage.
“I can never imagine not painting. Even if it wasn’t my job, I’d still be doing it.” – Jon Jones
Nic Joly
Contemporary miniature artist Nic Joly has explored a wide variety of themes throughout his decade with Castle Fine Art – from love and sex to mental health and war, Joly uses his artwork to understand and share complex issues.
To mark 10 years with Castle Fine Art, Nic has been revisiting and remastering some of his, and his collectors’, most loved artworks in his The Next Chapter collection. Centring human connection and discussing big topics on a small scale, these artworks celebrate love and creativity.
Nic headed out on the road this year to meet some of his collectors and to exclusively share some of his new original and limited-edition pieces. Inviting the viewer into his world of minute details and exquisite craftsmanship, Nic forges deep connections with his collectors.
“It’s a milestone really… I’ve really enjoyed revisiting these titles and comparing the meaning they had to me then to what they mean to me now.” - Nic Joly
