Inspired by a river in the Amazon Rainforest, this hypnotising hand-varnished boxed canvas by Robert Oxley boasts psychedelic colours that slowly drip down the canvas like the careful tread of a jaguar stalking its prey.
Robert says: "A magnificent and mysterious cat – feared and revered by all who see it – the jaguar is part of our psyche and has been used as a totem (spirit) animal for millennia."
Emerging from a dark black background, the contrasting colours of bright blue and fiery red pop and symbolise the ferocious jaguar who, according to Robert, "prowls the jungle under the cover of darkness".
Robert’s passion for endangered big cats can also be seen in his work with organisations like The Big Cat Sanctuary. To read more about Robert and his latest collection, The Dark Knights, visit our blog.

The artist
Robert Oxley
As a child, Robert Oxley spent his hours roaming the forests around a north-east coalmining village, dreaming of becoming a zookeeper. Today, the lions, tigers and elephants who roamed his imagination are given life in his dazzling wildlife paintings. Immersing himself in pop surrealism, Oxley presents viewers with what he calls 'psychedelic natural history'.
Oxley's affinity with nature is evident in every instinctive brushstroke. He began his art career by painting his school friend's denim jackets with the logos of their favourite heavy metal bands. This rock 'n' roll ethos can be seen in his art, with its loose paintwork and free attitude, which makes it so popular with his many collectors.
