Robert Oxley, once a child fascinated by forests and dreaming of zookeeping, now brings his imagination to life through vibrant wildlife paintings. His work, influenced by pop surrealism, presents a unique “psychedelic natural history” and reflects a deep connection with nature. Starting with painting heavy metal logos on friends' jackets, Oxley’s dynamic, free-spirited style has captivated many collectors.

A dedicated conservationist, Oxley supports projects like The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent and prioritizes sustainability in his materials. Known for his dramatic depictions of big cats, as well as other wildlife and even The Muppets, Oxley’s art transports viewers into fantastical realms, exploring themes of power and primal instincts.

His Triumph series highlights his love for big cats, and his distinctive ‘drip’ technique adds a hallucinatory quality to his work. Inspired by natural history and often accompanied by music and documentaries, Oxley also contributes to conservation efforts, including supporting the Koala Hospital in New South Wales after the bushfires. His art seamlessly integrates his passion for environmental education and preservation.
