Known for his vivid wildlife paintings, contemporary fine artist Robert Oxley invites viewers to venture even further into the habitats of his subjects by introducing immersive settings into his paintings for the first time.

Noted for his bold, kaleidoscopic colour palette and expressive brushwork, Robert Oxley has captivated audiences with a completely unique approach to depicting wildlife. Oxley is celebrated for his ability to capture the essence of his animal subjects, imbuing them with personality and vitality. His paintings are not only a celebration of wildlife, but a commentary on the natural world and its beauty.

Yet this flora and fauna are not based in realism. Starting by studying how leaves and plants behave, Oxley has then let his imagination take over, using intense colour clashes and fluid markings to bring them to life. Enriching his compositions while retaining his signature style, this collection marks a significant evolution in Oxley’s artistic journey.

“I just had to create a world for my animal creations to live in. I had to imagine an environment that these psychedelic animals would inhabit. I wanted to stay away from the natural colours found in nature, these animals deserve to live in an equally distorted colourful habitat.”

Echoing his passion for conservation, Oxley’s original artworks are displayed on a 100% cotton canvas, with the pine stretcher bars sourced from sustainably managed forests.
