The full spectrum of colour is explored in these new artworks by Oxley.
Metaphors from ancient times are shown to be as valid today as then. Several references to the classic Joseph story can be observed within the image of a scarecrow. Several pieces are depicting journeys through the landscape.
As always, this exhibition promises thought provoking images, rich in colour and meaning.

Oxley was recently invited to give a critique on the textiles work of an art group co-ordinated by well known textile artist Cynthia Morgan, in Caloundra.
Art groups of all varieties often invite a guest speaker to their gatherings. Oxley has the experience to offer sound judgement and encouragement to a broad range of artists and their works. Should you wish to book his attendance for your group, please register your interest on the contact page of this website.
Australian Portrait Artists are publishing a book this year, and Oxley is included as a member, accepting portrait commissions. Portraits can be commissioned on Portrait Artists Australia site - from a large oil to a small drawing.

Oxley continues to have a distinguished career of awards and achievements. His ability is breathtaking, covering almost every medium according to his chosen subject. His commitment to his art is evident in this new exhibition, as he demonstrates working from the true fundamentals of drawing skills and tailored materials to create extraordinarily captivating results.
These works show how the artist converts the image into art, often with just a few 'simple' strokes of his mink-tail brushes (the mink salvaged from an abandoned fur coat) dipped in inks he has also ground and prepared himself. The reduction of a subject to its essence with a few marks, enables the viewer to share the vision of the artist. These moments on the paper are expertly completed stories.
