“Working with Castle Fine Art gives the artists what they urgently need: clout! It’s a fine balance that requires a special degree of time, dedication and expertise that few artists would be able to harness on their own. Growth as an artist is paramount, and Castle offers an arena where this is guided as well as encouraged.”
“It’s been an amazing experience working with Castle Fine Art over the last four years. I’ve loved every minute! It’s been fantastic to meet all of the artists that the company represents, along with the whole team working behind the scenes. It’s still surreal to me that my art is in homes around the world.”
“For my friends in the UK and my friends at Castle Fine Art, I have one word for you: considerate. You have all been very considerate to me and I appreciate it. One of my happiest moments when visiting
“It doesn’t feel like a business, it feels like a family. Everybody I’ve met loves what they do. I’ve been in galleries where they just stick your art on the wall, but Castle is so much more than that: it’s an experience. I love what I’m doing too, and the synergy of my vision and paintings with their attitude just seems to gel really well.”
the galleries was realising I was in the same gallery as Bob Dylan.I hope I do something for the 50th anniversary! I wish you many more successful and happy years.”

It isn’t a celebration without balloons, as Bob illustrates in this truly touching oil painting. Capturing the compassion of nurses throughout history, the traditional street scene memorialises the northern mill towns of his youth. An unexpected splash of colour to his trademark muted palette shows just why he is one of our most versatile and best-loved artists.
“Happy 25th anniversary, Castle Fine Art! We are so happy and excited to be a part of the Castle family of artists, it has been a pleasure working with such a professional gallery group and their amazing team. We look forward to the next 25 years for sure!”
Nigel Mason
No-one captures the innocence of childhood quite like Nigel, whose optimism and positivity shines through this heart-warming tableau. Influences like Walter Sickert, Édouard Vuillard and James Whistler can be seen in the expressive brushstrokes, which embody special moments and cherished memories.
Robert Oxley
“I’ve worked with Castle Fine Art for six years now, and it’s been great. Without sounding dramatic, they’ve saved my life. They put me on the map artistically and they’ve given me a sense of identity, which I’ll forever be thankful for. One of the most memorable times for me was right at the beginning of my career, and it was just seeing my work in print and on the website. People could go into the gallery and see them and I could say to my family, “Look what I’ve achieved!”.”

How adorable is this nostalgic throwback?
Roxy Winterburn
John is taking us back to our early Castle Galleries days in this bright sketch! Featuring 3D lettering in a nod to his illusionary wall sculptures, this simplistic rendering also includes his signature stickmen, which are inspired by his daughter’s scribbles.
Drawn to circular forms, Roxy has depicted the metallic finish of her animal sculptures in this curved design. Symbolising how everything in life is connected, she uses the circle to evoke happy emotions, which makes this drawing perfect for our anniversary!
