Billy Connolly

A Hand-signed double Hit Flatbed Giclée Limited Edition Portfolio by Billy Connolly.

The irrepressible Billy Connolly returns with the latest instalment of his Born on a Rainy Day collection, this time with coloured interpretations his most celebrated images. Originally sketched in black and white, Billy’s reimagination of these artworks illustrates the continuing evolution of his unique signature style.

By introducing a spectrum of colour to his most beloved, Billy expresses his love for creativity and originality, encouraging us all to embrace our individuality, no matter what. Although his figures are faceless, they still manage to possess an extraordinary self-awareness and humanity, whilst their anonymity opens them up to individual interpretation, creating a unique bond with the viewer.

Billy’s joy for life is clear and infectious in this collection. As we see the figures playing music, dancing and expressing their unique style, Billy gives us an insight into some of the most nostalgic moments throughout his life and career.

Whether it’s hearing the pulsing sound of bagpipers lining the streets at the Edinburgh Fringe, the blossoming relationship with his art or the magical light of the Scottish gloaming, each piece reveals life through Billy’s eyes, while inviting the viewer to enjoy it in a way that’s true to them.

Described by The Times as 'poignant', 'funny' and 'enigmatic', Billy’s highly collectible prints and stainless-steel sculptures are as amusing as his comedy.

This portfolio includes:

'Big Close Up' (57.1cm x 77.5cm) 

'Glaswegian Icarus'(77.5cm x 57.1cm) 

'One Man’s Band' (57.1cm x 77.5cm) 

'Rebel Without A Sword' (57.1cm x 77.5cm) 

'The Gloaming' (57.1cm x 77.5cm) 

'Zebra Crossing' (77.5cm x 57.1cm)

The artworks included in this portfolio are Double Hit Flatbed Giclée Limited Editions on 100% Cotton Saunders Waterford 300gsm Paper. A set of six is also available framed.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order to collect in a gallery?

At checkout, you'll have the option to have your order delivered to your home or to collect it from one of our galleries across the UK. For more information on delivery, visit our delivery page here.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, Castle Fine Art is based in the UK, but we ship internationally. All of our international orders are delivered via DHL, you can find out more here.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Most artwork orders will need to be professionally mounted and framed before being dispatched, so delivery can take up to four weeks from the date you placed your order, but we do strive to deliver your order as soon as we can. Books and gift cards are delivered within 2-3 working days. Please note, if multiple artworks are purchased within the same order, they may be delivered separately for efficient delivery. Find out more here.

How will I receive my certificate of authenticity?

All our limited edition artwork has a certificate of authenticity which will be included in your order alongside your artwork.

I'm an artist, how can I submit my art?

We are committed to discovering and developing talented, creative artists who love contemporary art as much as we do. Find out how to submit your art here.

Is my art insured?

Artwork is one of the few insurable items that is likely to appreciate in value over time, so it is important that you are protected by a specialist policy that can accommodate its true worth. Find out about your options here.

Is the artwork hand-signed?

The majority of our originals and limited editions are hand signed by the artist themselves. On some occasions where we have limited edition sculptures, this is hand written into the mould before production. If you're unsure, please contact us.

What happens after I order?

Once you've completed your purchase, a confirmation receipt will be sent via email. You will also receive a follow-up phone call from one of our art consultants to provide confirmation, finalise the details of your preferred delivery method and answer any further questions you may have.

What is the difference between a limited edition and an original?

An original work of art is a one-off piece - painting, sculpture, mixed media - which is made by the artist themselves. When you buy an original piece of work, it comes with the knowledge that you own something incredibly special; almost a piece of the creator themselves. A limited edition is a translation of an original piece and there is a fixed number of these made. The piece will be signed by the artist, and the edition number will show you which number in the series you have purchased. Read more about the different types of art we sell here.

Will you install my art?

We do offer an installation service should you need assistance. You can contact our art consultants for further information here. Please note that this is currently only available in mainland UK.

BCN SLE POR 33718 The Gloaming (2024) 3

A Double Hit Flatbed Giclée Limited Edition

Given Castle Fine Art's expertise as UK's leading art retailer, we are committed to the highest standards specially regarding printing. Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.

The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black. It is believed that a giclée will significantly outlast a lithographic print, keeping its vivid colour for up to 200 years.

Born on a rainy day 2024

Communicating his humour through shapes and lines, it was on a rainy day in 2007 that Billy first put pen to paper. Taking refuge from the grey drizzle of Montreal, Canada, he entered an art shop with a twinkling curiosity and left with an armful of supplies and the urge to create. Over the next five years his drawings developed into his debut fine art collection, Born on a Rainy Day, which launched in 2012 and continues to connect with collectors today.

BCN Unframed SET 1
“People often say to me, I love your drawings, they make me happy when I come into the room. That's none of my business. That's you. That's you inflicting yourself on it, and it's a lovely thing. It's good for you to love it, and it'll love you back. It'll always love you back.”

About

Billy Connolly

The world-famous musician and comedian’s iconic artworks have no less impact than one of his legendary comedy sketches. The faceless figures possess an extraordinary self-awareness and humanity. Devoid of emotion or expression, their anonymity opens them up to individual interpretation, creating a unique bond with the viewer.

 

Featured by The Times and documentaries including Billy Connolly: It's Been a Pleasure, his minimalist drawings have been described as 'poignant', 'funny' and 'enigmatic' by critics.
