THE BOY DONE WELL!


A member of one of Brigg's best-known families, Robert Jickells has another exciting project coming up in London, which will interest the rich and famous.
His Untitled Gallery is staging the UK's largest artists' fair on Saturday and Sunday at Chelsea Old Town Hall, in the Kings Road.
He's invited 'yours truly' to a champagne reception on Friday night to launch the event, but, unfortunately, apologies will have to be tendered.
He is an international art dealer, overseeing works worth more than £1-million, including some by the Queen’s official portrait painter.
Robert, who has a BA Hons degree, lived in Brigg until he was 18 and was educated at the town’s Sir John Nelthorpe School.
He then moved over to North Lindsey College, Scunthorpe, to do a Diploma in Art and Design.
In 1993 he went down to London to study at Middlesex University, graduating in 1996 with a degree in Visual Communication Design.
Robert then worked as a designer at the internationally famous Vogue Magazine.
His current tour de force is the impressive website, through which he sells works of art online, direct to collectors worldwide.
He also designed and directed the opening sequence for the movie Evil Aliens.
