Artist William Oxer
A
passionate artist driven by traditional ideas of how beauty should be
represented, William formed the intellectual basis to his work under the
tutelage of Professor Regius Peter Davidson of Oxford University. William
travelled widely through Europe with Peter and his wife, Professor Jane
Stevenson, effectively being given a Grand Tour as a fair swap for his driving
skills. After graduating, William was offered a place at the Prince of Wales'
Institute of Architecture but was advised by them to take the position of
assistant to Alec Cobbe, artist, restorer and collector. Living in at
Hatchlands Park, Surrey where The Cobbe Collection is based, William was to
assist in various projects including an exhibition for the Queens Gallery,
Buckingham Palace and large-scale designs for interiors in historic houses such
as Goodwood House, Petworth House and Hatchlands Park. He lived at the latter
back in 1996, working with restorer and interiors expert, Alec Cobbe. Over the
past 25 years, William has undertaken regular portrait commissions for private
clients and produced artworks for exhibitions and collectors across the world.
His work also includes period decoration and exhibition design in places such
as Christie’s and the Building of Bath Museum, also known as The Museum of Bath
Architecture.
