Castle Galleries

This Fine Art retailer has been established in Solihull for 8 years. I would say Castle Galleries stock art mainly for the affluent, however their prices range from £250 to six figures. The gallery itself is amazing to wander round if you happen to appreciate art. The service is friendly. They stock contemporary art to Superhero art and paintings from local artists to the likes of Bob Dylan and Alex Ross (DC Comics). There is art signed by Stan Lee. There is art dedicated to Marilyn Monroe, various sculptures and great creative pieces that would look good in any living room. I recommend a browse in here at least and if you can afford to buy, then Castle Galleries give interest free credit up to £5,000. There are 36 Castle Galleries across the UK. Check it out.

This branch is a part of a small and unique set of galleries that showcase collectable pieces of art work. They offer a welcoming and warm environment with their red-​ish wall paint and friendly staff. They represent some of the finest contemporary artists of our time. From studying Art I can vaguely see they aim to break barriers and push boundaries of traditional art retailing. One way they do this is by having the artist introduce their new collection of art to the public. I’d love to come here for one of these events as I think it would be quiet special.
I particularly admired the city paintings and I could see each artist has a distinctive story and many of the paintings come to life and almost tell a story. That may sound strange to read that but if you experienced it then you’d know what I’m on about.
The only downside for Castle Galleries for me personally is the high prices of the paintings. They look like they are worth every penny but I’m biased towards cheap things as a recent ex student. On my last visit they started at fifty pounds but as the paintings change I will be coming back to see the new collections and hopefully purchase something.
