Robert Oxley | The Dark Knights
Dark, deadly and dangerous, the first instalment of The Dark Knights by the wildlife artist Robert Oxley saw him return to his neon colour palette and adopt an exciting new perspective. Instead of focusing on the face, Robert painted the animals' full body, and the effect is startling: the predators step out of the darkness and seemingly off the canvas.
The painter, whose art appeared in a January 2021 episode of Channel 4's Grand Designs, took inspiration from natural history and medieval legend for these hand-varnished artworks. To mirror the 2D effect of Robert's original artworks, our specialist atelier team carefully reimagined the painting using state-of-the-art techniques. The canvas is 100% cotton, creating a premium, high-definition effect, while the high-gloss acrylic giclée varnish offers a great depth of colour and extra UV protection.
Following the popularity of the first release, Robert followed this collection up with The Dark Knights - Heart of Darkness in August 2021, which you can shop below.
Bringing the outdoors inside
With magazines like Homes & Gardens naming global influences as one of the season's biggest trends, the collection is a stylish exploration of some of the world's most exciting locations. From the Amazon River to Tanzania, Robert's majestic predators create a feeling of wanderlust that can help viewers escape to somewhere beautiful.
Hand-finished by our specialist atelier team, the boxed canvas prints can be mixed and matched with houseplants and textures for a rustic aesthetic, or with modern furniture for a more contemporary look.
Featured art (L-R): 'Calathea' (sold out), 'Jatupo', 'Rufiji'.
"I wanted to show my cats as neither good nor bad...as a stealthy power that lurks in the shadows, ready to strike its prey."
