THE ART OF CHAOS ILLUMINATI NEON

Those of you holding a copy of this issue in your hands will have noticed that we are, after a brief hiatus, back in print! As a company, we took the decision to invest back into print, realising that little of our shared experiences over the past year has been tangible. There is undoubtedly a desire to return to the physical, whether that is visiting one of our galleries or reading a copy of your favourite art magazine, Fine Art Collector . So this is simply our small, but significant, nod to our collective return to ‘normal ’. We hope that that this issue will provide you all with some well-deserved respite, and encourage you to take time out from your daily grind to relax and enjoy reading about our artists, the wonderful work they continue to produce, and what we as a company have been toiling away at behind the scenes. Our commitment to community art endeavours continues, most recently with an art installation at the BirminghamWomen’s Hospital, fundraising for Blue Cross pet charity and supporting Alex Echo’s collaboration with Next in aid of

Parkinson’s UK. Similarly, our art is now far from confined to the walls of our galleries – or indeed the homes of our collectors. Read on to hear about our new partnership with two Michelin-starred Moor Hall restaurant, and find out why our collection of Shadowman limited editions is currently hanging in Gotham City! Our Autumn/Winter collection features original and limited edition artwork from a host of your Castle Fine Art favourites. Two artists in particular must get a shout out, having both reached their 15-year anniversaries with us: John Myatt and Paul Corfield. John has revisited his Genuine Fakes series, painting a collection of exquisite Edward Hopper-inspired editions. Paul has reimagined a selection of the most popular editions and sold-out artworks from his past portfolio in his current style, accompanied by a stunning hardback book entitled Becoming Paul Corfield . Already proving popular, it’s a delightful addition - or beginning - to any Paul Corfield collection. Alfie Bowen, in his first year of joining the Castle Fine Art family, has

already made quite the impression. In September alone, he clocked up a notable trilogy of career- defining moments: his first book was published (head over to our blog on www.castlefineart.com/blog to read more), he appeared at Photo London and was a guest speaker at the Royal Photographic Society. Happily for us, he also found time to curate and hand-sign the latest release of limited editions from his Call of the Wild series. Incredibly, there is far more packed into this issue than I have word count here to accommodate, so I invite you to read on and discover all our other news and updates for yourself. Which leaves me with little to say or do other than to offer our resounding thanks for your ongoing support. Without you, our cherished collectors, our art wouldn’t find a home. Thank you for being part of Castle’s continuing journey, and I look forward to bringing you our next update in Spring 2022.

Monumental PAUL KENTON

Monumental is a collection of large-scale original artworks by internationally exhibited artist Paul Kenton, depicting awe- inspiring forces of nature. Frommajestic oceans and mountains, to dynamic scenes from cities like New York and London, the imposing vistas convey powerful emotions and tell incredible stories.

“When I’m painting a New York scene, there’s distance but also taxis and people walking about; everything is flowing. You won’t be able to see the people in the foreground as recognisable figures because I never put lots of detail in the face or expression as then it becomes too rigid and still. “The mountain pieces have these amazing blue shadows, which for me form the shape of the mountain, rather than the snow. I find the blues and the rock formations really interesting. You can also get a massive sense of distance, which is really exciting.” Contact your local gallery or visit our website to discover the collection and enquire about availability.

The pieces were painted in oils and resin on aluminium, copper, canvas and brass – and on a scale larger than ever before. Paul explains: ‘There are so many things that go into these big pieces: there’s texture, distance and fluidity. “For the ocean paintings, I’m a keen surfer, and have been for 30-odd years. I’m drawn to the sea, and my ocean pieces are moments that I’ve experienced. I also think about the ocean a lot, and it’s great fun to paint.”

Scarlett Raven

REBORN

After becoming a mother for the first time, Scarlett Raven was inspired to see the world through a child’s eyes. Symbolising her growth as both a woman and an artist, I am Reborn features stylistic influences from Anselm Kiefer, David Hockney and Gustav Klimt. Each of the textured prints takes its title from a poem, including the sonnets of the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth. Scarlett, whose work is owned by celebrities including the Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom, says: “Having a baby and watching him discover his senses for the first time couldn’t be any more inspiring for my paintings. I experience everything through his first times, and it’s magical. These paintings are alive. They are hopeful, magical, strong, powerful…they are fearless.”

“When people look at these paintings, I want them to feel themselves. I want them to provide somewhere to feel alive, a place to breathe and explore.”

Robert Oxley THE DARK KNIGHTS

Robert Oxley’s recent release is a continuation of his successful collection The Dark Knights . The new instalment entitled Heart of Darkness portrays three of the planet’s deadliest wild cats: a tiger, leopard and snow leopard. Looking for inspiration, Robert explored Jewish and Hindu mythology which is reflected in the titles of these new artworks. His mysterious cats symbolise stealth, foreboding and restrained power. Lurking in the darkness and always ready to pounce, the cats look like they’re about to step out from the canvas.

Robert says: “The cats are stepping into the light and leaving the darkness behind them. It’s a new beginning.” For this collection Robert has moved away from his signature neon palette and used deep purples and blacks, accented with yellows and greens, for a moonlit feel. All of the hand-signed, limited editions have been printed on a 100% cotton canvas with a high-gloss acrylic giclée varnish that gives an incredible depth of colour.

Art Trends In the first instalment of our new series, we’re exploring some of art and home décor’s biggest trends, including inspiration from fashion, television and social media.

MAXIMALISM Harking back to the roaring ‘20s, maximalism has been one of the most popular looks in fashion and interior design this season, with The New York Times and Financial Express reporting on the trend of showstopping jewellery, and Tom Ford’s Spring ‘22 collection bringing satin, sparkles and sequins to New York Fashion Week. The look is expertly summarised by Ben Spriggs, the editor-in-chief of Elle Décoration, who told the Guardian newspaper that it combines “the high-octane glamour of Halston and Studio 54-era New York”.

Think velvet accents, floral wallpaper, ornate detailing, metallic embellishment and nostalgic ornaments and trinkets. This aesthetic is unapologetic, flamboyant and fun, with Princess Anne reportedly a fan. If the thought of bejewelled curtains has you breaking out in a cold sweat, don’t worry. Minimalism – characterised by simplicity and utility – will be back for 2022, meaning you can create your own blend of maximalist and minimalist elements. Even IKEA, the epicentre of streamlined design, is embracing both aesthetics, as seen by its KARISMATISK collaboration with the eclectic fashion designer Zandra Rhodes.

 Right: Dan Lane’s ornate wall sculptures often feature unexpected kaleidoscopes of colour and contrasting textures, including metal and pearlised finishes.

Art is about challenging conventions, so we’re

loving the bold colours and juxtaposing textures of this not-for-the-faint-hearted style.

And collectors are getting involved too: the Guardian newspaper describes an ‘arts and craft renaissance’, while the Smithsonian magazine notes that hobbies like crocheting, flower-pressing and baking have all increased during COVID-19. The luxury fashion house Hermès invited people to meet its artisans at its Hermès in the Making events in Copenhagen, Michigan and Miami – giving audiences an insight into its craftsmanship. Over in New York, Jason Wu’s ready-to-wear NYFW catwalk collection echoed the artisanal materials taking

 Below: To bring an organic rawness, Raphael Mazzucco’s original mixed media artworks are embellished with elements of nature, including tree bark, foliage, feathers, flowers and sand. The photographer set up his studio outside in the forests of Connecticut, allowing nature to intervene. He adds: “Out here, the wilderness and open space are bringing me back to nature again. It’s almost like taking a deep breath and feeling beautified. Nature is intertwined within the photography, like it’s grown out of the earth.”

NATURE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

There is something genuine and intimate about a hand-finished artwork, which is fuelling a growing preference for artisanal art and Décorative items over mass-produced homeware; not least because of its positive

RETRO

décor features include patterned wallpaper, retro oak furniture, shaggy carpets, wiggle mirrors and terrazzo. The ‘70s were also instrumental in the design of new furniture styles, with curvy, chunky shapes defining the era. Keen to explore more trends from before they were born, young people are also spearheading the ‘avant-basic’ genre – characterised by the psychedelic style of the ‘60s – and adopting elements from the ‘80s, including glass, chrome and marble. REGIONAL ART After more than a year of strict travel restrictions, many of us have explored our local areas, creating a greater sense of regional identity. Sotheby’s, one of the world’s largest brokers of fine art and collectibles, predicts that ‘local will be the new global’, allowing local styles and art movements to become more pronounced in the face of globalisation.

According to Professor Gage Averill at the University of British Columbia, the rise of television and film streaming services such as Netflix is supporting a new wave of nostalgia for millennials and Gen-Zers (those born after 1997). Talking to USA Today, he explained: “Everybody’s super- overstimulated, so taking it back to simple things definitely brings some joy to people.” The growing popularity of social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok has also contributed to the boom of ‘Y2K’ style. Short for ‘the year 2000’, this kitsch aesthetic includes beanbags, disco balls and lava lamps. However, more Instagram and Pinterest users than ever have been embracing the ‘70s style, made popular by TV shows such as the BBC’s The Serpent. Seen everywhere from the Met Gala to the Parklife music festival, this free-spirited look embodies rule-breaking, and the

for a contemporary interior design; while the astronomical prices fetched by Banksy at auction – including a predicted £6 million for his ‘Love is in the Bin’ artwork – is indicative of a growing appreciation of the street art genre. In May 2021, Elon Musk and the American electric vehicle company Tesla asked artists to submit graffiti designs to be showcased at the new Gigafactory in Berlin, illustrating that urban art belongs in the workplace too. Whether it’s used to modernise an office space or brighten up a bathroom,

bedroom or kitchen, the style communicates self-expression. It can be teamed with city elements like brick walls and exposed metal to echo its origins, or a neutral wall to create a statement. Fans of a maximalist look can also mix urban art with other genres and textures for impact.  Below: One of Scarlett Raven’s inspirations is the Neo-Expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose

“Nostalgia is very important to me, because it is a part of my life, as well as a part of everyone else’s.”

Whatshisname INTRODUCING

Loved by collectors yet banned by the London Underground for being ‘offensive’, Whatshisname – aka Sebastian Burdon – is precisely what the contemporary art scene needs: a bold, unapologetic voice who isn’t afraid to spark controversy.

As the newest signing to the Castle Fine Art portfolio, the Polish-born sculptor and fine artist has exhibited around the world, from Hong Kong to Los Angeles and New York. As he prepared to embark on his biggest project yet – a monumental exhibition at Covent Garden – we took a trip to his London studio to find out more about his new Whatshisname X Castle Fine Art collection. “I would describe my work as innovative, modern Pop Art,” Sebastian tells us with a wry grin. “My colours are inspired by children’s birthday party balloons; they’re supposed to evoke happy and

joyful feelings. People can see the humour in them and they put a smile on their faces: that’s something that you can’t find with many artworks.” This is certainly true of his POPek series, a collection of vibrant balloon dogs that originally started as a parody of the American contemporary artist Jeff Koons. These humorous sculptures hit the headlines in 2012 after being banned from the Art Below exhibition at London Underground stations, and have since appeared everywhere from the Affordable Art Fair to the Cathay shopping centre in Singapore.

reaching out to us with an extended hand and saying, “Hello, I’m still here, do you remember me?”. Or if those are fading memories, they are saying goodbye.” Sebastian’s collection of signed giclée prints and hand-painted resin sculptures is available online and at Castle Fine Art galleries now. Get in touch to find out more.

His Gone series, however, has a slightly different feel. Drawing upon his childhood in eastern Poland, the shadowed figures represent our childhood heroes. Amongst a backdrop of political and socio-economic unrest in the 1980s and ‘90s, a young Sebastian was drawn to the visual beauty of film, particularly the 1939 musical-fantasy classic, The Wizard of Oz . His haunting artworks symbolise nostalgia and revisiting memories. “It’s a vision of the childhood heroes who come back and live in my head every now and again,” he explains. “It’s showing our childhood heroes

COVENT GARDEN EXHIBITION

“My larger-than-life project with Castle Fine Art features a gigantic public art installation with four giant balloon dog sculptures. Two are a massive four metres tall, and two are three metres long. It’s something that has never happened at Covent Garden before, and I’m thrilled to be the first artist to create something of this magnitude this year.

of every person who passes by. The sculptures will be enormous and in nice, fun poses with very bright and vivid colours. My exhibition is designed not only for dog- lovers, but also for families and everyone who enjoyed birthday parties as a child. So I’m hoping to see lots of families having a good time.” Our monumental sculpture installation will be on display from October – December 2021.

“I’m hoping that the installation will put a smile on the face

Community art Castle Fine Art’s ongoing support for BirminghamWomen’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust

During the last year, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the mental health and wellbeing of millions of people across the UK, especially those working within the NHS. Following a study that revealed engaging with artwork can help to improve wellbeing and decrease feelings of anxiety by 71%, Castle Fine Art has transformed the antenatal corridor of Birmingham Women’s Hospital.

Sarah-Jane Marsh, CEO at Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, gave her thoughts during the official unveiling of the community corridor: “We know the difference that the environment we create makes to our patients and their families when they visit us here at the hospital, Art is such an important factor, and we are so pleased and proud to have this fantastic installation in our main corridor – the corridor where thousands of women and their families walk every week. This artwork will make such a difference for so many people, for many years to come.” Janette Vyse, the Project Lead for Arts within the Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Trust, added: “We’re simply blown away by the generous donation from Castle Fine Art. Art forms an important part of our hospitals, it can really help to improve the experience of our patients, whether that’s helping them to feel relaxed, lift their spirits or provide a distraction from treatment. It also improves the well-being of our staff and gives a sense of pride in their working environment, as they

walk up and down the corridors, and throughout the wards.” Castle Fine Art has had a long and dedicated relationship with the Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity, having named the Trust as its chosen charity partner over three years ago. Since their partnership began, Castle Fine Art has consistently raised funds for the Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and was this year honoured as one of the charity’s ‘100 Heroes’. Ian Weatherby-Blythe, Group Managing Director of Castle Fine Art, commented on the latest project with the charity: “We are so happy to have such a prosperous partnership with Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity. As a company, we truly believe in the positive impact that art can have in improving mental wellbeing, and we have always been so grateful for the support that we have received from the hospital in delivering this message. We are absolutely delighted with how the installation has turned out, and we hope that it brings joy to all who walk by and see the artwork chosen by our team”.

The new exhibition has been curated to foster the hospital’s

message of promoting a sense of hope and peace

amongst patients and staff. The brand-new installation includes works from several of your favourite artists, including Nic Joly, Scarlett Raven, Richard Rowan and Bob Barker. By incorporating fine art into the corridor, Castle Fine Art hopes to make the clinical environment a place of distraction, healing, and wellbeing with the hospital’s new gallery. From peaceful landscapes to bold abstract images, the collection makes for the perfect viewing for all staff and visitors.

WHAT OUR ARTISTS HAD TO SAY…

We’ve been inundated with heart-warming feedback from hospital staff and patients alike, about what a difference the installation has made to them: Antenatal patient: “I had to come on my own today and was feeling very nervous, until I noticed the paintings. I walked up and down the corridor looking at them, they really helped to calm my nerves. I like them all but particularly like the couple with the umbrella. I’m not sure why, it just has real sense of calm about it.” Allied health professional staff member: “They are all beautiful, they really make a difference, I enjoy my regular walk down the corridor much more!”

Midwife: “They have totally transformed the corridor and they have improved the environment for our patients and families - we need more art like this throughout the hospital. If I’m honest, I’m surprised at the difference it has made.” Patient Experience >Page 1 Page 2-3 Page 4-5 Page 6-7 Page 8-9 Page 10-11 Page 12-13 Page 14-15 Page 16-17 Page 18-19 Page 20-21 Page 22-23 Page 24-25 Page 26-27 Page 28-29 Page 30-31 Page 32-33 Page 34-35 Page 36-37 Page 38-39 Page 40-41 Page 42-43 Page 44-45 Page 46-47 Page 48-49 Page 50-51 Page 52-53 Page 54-55 Page 56-57 Page 58-59 Page 60-61 Page 62-63 Page 64-65 Page 66-67 Page 68-69 Page 70-71 Page 72-73 Page 74-75 Page 76-77 Page 78-79 Page 80-81 Page 82-83 Page 84-85 Page 86-87 Page 88-89 Page 90-91 Page 92-93 Page 94-95 Page 96-97 Page 98-99 Page 100-101 Page 102-103 Page 104-105 Page 106-107 Page 108
