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.
