Oil on canvas framed to Guild of Framers Museum Standard. I have painted all my life, professionally for over thirty years. I undertake both portrait commissions for private clients and create artworks shown in various gallery exhibitions. I have also spent many years working in interiors and historic spaces. This includes helping create large-scale painted designs for interior projects in historic houses such as Buckingham Palace, Goodwood House, Petworth House and Hatchlands Park. I have undertaken many varied projects including period decoration and exhibition design in such places as Christies, St James (William Beckford Exhibition) and the Building of Bath Museum. I have also been involved in the redecoration of large family country homes, mostly historic. My work at Hatchlands Park in Surrey was with Alec Cobbe, restorer and interiors expert. The experience was something that defined how I wish to work. Living in an historic home in the countryside, amongst historic keyboard instruments, producing hand-painted schemes for some of England’s finest houses and surrounded by hundreds of beautiful paintings allowed me to think upon my own work, quietly and studiously, in an environment that promoted beauty and rigorous thought. I am perhaps something of an old soul. My works are restful and somehow quiet, demure, elegaic. I enjoy the evenings of autumn and winter by the fire, painting smaller, more intimate and reflective works, although in the past few years I have enjoyed working on a much larger scale. Perhaps this is a distant feeling of past roots of the north. Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of relationships. What starts out as triumph soon becomes finessed into a hegemony of distress, leaving only a sense of decadence and the possibility of a new beginning. As subtle derivatives become clarified through studious and personal practice, the viewer is left with a hymn to the edges of our existence.

"William Oxer is not merely a painter; he is a distinctive sensibility, with a poetic vision he explores in many media. His art is affirmative, evocative and forgiving..." Professor Sir Roger Scruton "William Oxer's paintings represent a strikingly fresh current in contemporary art. His work is experimental, and he is also willing to take on larger themes as well as demonstrating a delight in detail and minutiae. Very few contemporary artists paint so consistently well." Dr David Morley, University of Warwick In 2017 William was invited by the Royal Society of Arts to become one of their Fellows, which he is honoured to become. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fellow_of_the_Royal_Society_of_Arts
