Artist William Oxer

William Oxer has been painting and writing professionally for over twenty years. His skills have enabled him to undertake many varied projects including historic decoration and exhibition design in such places as Christies, St James (William Beckford Exhibition) and the Building of Bath Museum.

For example, 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’.

An example of his poetry reflects this: ‘Some finer tune is /Hereabouts being played/ Where word and fiddle sound of heaven’s /Spheres are made/To form/Or fly with all who dare/A song of wordless tongue’s refrain/A lover’s air.' William has worked with members of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, at another country house, Trafalgar Park near Salisbury, where a number of his compositions for quintet and flute and piano were performed.

William has enjoyed working on projects in private country homes for many years, designing libraries, painting panelled rooms, even formulating knot gardens and parterres. He has worked in varied places such as the NPG and various places of historic importance and has travelled extensively in pursuit of an ever-growing understanding of art and poetry. Professor Scruton has written of how William's work 'offers us, in short, a return to the true and serious tradition'.
