We love…Castle Galleries

It is nearly 2014 and what resolutions do the new year bring? Healthy eating, fitness and well being are some of the most popular but we at The Gentleman’s Journal have another life alteration come January 1st; filling our walls with lots of new artwork. There is nothing better that sourcing new aesthetics to adorn your walls and one of the best places to go to purchase this art is one of the Castle Galleries.

These galleries, which stock pieces of work from some of the country’s most innovative and talented artists, were actually born out of the Halcyon Group, one of the largest and most prestigious art galleries in the world. Since its inception in the mid 80s in Birmingham, Halcycon Gallery has grown from a single location store to having a prolific presence in the whole of the city then the London market as well.

Alongside this exciting expansion, another company was forming, Washington Green Fine Art Publishing and the two met who Washington Green supplied Halcycon Gallery with stylish, original art. Washington Green acquired Castle Galleries in 2005 and, today, not only do Castle have 36 galleries across the country, but they are also the UK’s leading group of high street art galleries.

What is exciting about Castle Galleries is the extensive variety and unrelenting beauty when it comes to the collections. With the art covering numerous genres including 3D, expressionist, landscape, pop, portraiture, humour, sculpture, still life and traditional, there truly is something for everyone. What’s more, customers and clients have lots of opportunities to personally interact with the galleries with their private views, exhibitions, artist personal appearances and exclusive events so whether you are an avid collector or an art newcomer the opportunities are there for you.
