His shadowed cats symbolise both the power of the night and universal fears, encompassing demonic figures and female deities. Unlike the first instalment - which featured a neon tiger, lion and jaguar - the collection also has a self-described 'heavy metal thunder' colour palette, with deep purples and blacks accented with yellows and greens for a moonlit feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach hand-signed, limited edition artwork is printed on a 100% cotton canvas with a high-gloss acrylic giclée varnish for an incredible depth of colour. By focusing on the animal's body, Robert has created the illusion that they are about to step out of the canvas. He explains: \"The cats are stepping into the light and leaving the darkness behind them. It's a new beginning.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"robert-oxley-kali-1629126250","title":"Kali","description":"\u003cp\u003eNamed after the Hindu Goddess of Destruction who symbolises feminine empowerment, this hypnotising hand-varnished, limited edition artwork by Robert Oxley harnesses a more unusual colour palette than the acclaimed wildlife artist is used to.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCool-toned purples seamlessly blend into the darkness of the canvas while dramatically contrasting the bright yellow in the cat's eyes and fur accents.
