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.

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,

Sarah, Mandy, Steph and Holly x
