 "Light Falling Of Kisses" by William Oxer B.A Hons. F.R.S.A

 

 Timeless Beauty!!!!

 

This exquisite painting masterfully captures the moment of intense anticipation the muse feels as she awaits the touch of her lover. The way the fabrics drape and slide across her body conveys a sense of heightened sensitivity and electric energy, as if she is a powerful storm on the verge of breaking free.

 

She is keenly aware that the mere touch of a single finger against her delicate skin acts as the catalyst, triggering a cascade of events. This gentle contact seems to shatter invisible barriers, disrupting the age-old equilibrium, causing the heavens to burst forth with a torrential downpour of warm, rhythmic rain. The air crackles with electricity, the storm drawing closer on that humid summer evening.

 

As I painted this work I thought of Elizabeth Bishop’s poem, ‘It Is Marvellous To Wake Up Together’. This poem was not printed during Bishop’s life but was discovered among her personal papers after her death. It’s a love poem, which is somewhat uncharacteristic as Bishop did not typically focus on romantic love in her poetry. Entirely characteristic, though, is Bishop’s power of vision.

 

 

"It is marvellous to wake up together

At the same minute; marvellous to hear The rain begin suddenly all over the roof, To feel the air clear As if electricity had passed through it From a black mesh of wires in the sky. All over the roof the rain hisses, And below, the light falling of kisses. An electrical storm is coming or moving away; It is the prickling air that wakes us up. If lightning struck the house now, it would run From the four blue china balls on top Down the roof and down the rods all around us, And we imagine dreamily How the whole house caught in a bird-cage of lightning Would be quite delightful rather than frightening; And from the same simplified point of view Of night and lying flat on one’s back All things might change equally easily, Since always to warn us there must be these black Electrical wires dangling. Without surprise The world might change to something quite different, As the air changes or the lightning comes without our blinking, Change as our kisses are changing without our thinking"

 

 

 "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. His work offers us, in short, a return to the true and serious tradition." 

Professor Roger Scruton F.B.A  F.R.S.L (Cambridge)

 

 

William's paintings just featured in an 8 page spread in "Inside Artists" magazine!!! see below

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 William has been painting professionally for over 25 years, undertaking regular portrait commissions for private clients and producing artworks for art gallery exhibitions. 

 

William’s previous engagements include creating large-scale painted designs for interior projects in historic houses such as Buckingham Palace, Goodwood House,  Petworth House and Hatchlands Park!!! His skills have enabled him to undertake 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.

William’s style can be immediately recognised as romantic and traditional, however it increasingly carries hidden meaning and complex allusions to mythology, philosophy, or classical and religious iconography. His paintings employ subtle allusions and themes such as ‘perfect love’ and the notion of passion as expressed in tales such as Troilus and Cressida and Romeo and Juliet. 



At Hatchlands Park in Surrey, William worked with Alec Cobbe, restorer and interiors expert. ‘The experience was something that defined how I wished to work,’ he says. ‘Living in a country house 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.’

 

"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..'. He states that the work 'offers us, in short, a return to the true and serious tradition." Professor 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
