Whiplash

Named after the 2014 jazz-drummer film of the same name, this vibrant and glamourous original artwork depicts the wild and passionate Animal from The Muppets whose crazy hair and colour is perfectly captured by Robert Oxley's jagged strokes of paint. On interpreting this character from pop culture, renowned animal artist Robert Oxley said: “With Animal, I was saving the best until last. Wild and striking in colour, his character is pure mayhem”.

Harnessing five individual personalities from The Muppets, the Spring 2022 collection Ensemble, sees wildlife artist Robert Oxley depart from his usual subject matter and blow our minds by using his unique impressionistic style to represent and explore a “much-loved part of [his] childhood“. Created in the 1950s, Jim Henson's Muppets have since been adapted into a TV series, numerous theatrical films, and a world-wide brand, not to mention a key presence in most of our childhoods. This, however, if the first time that the hilarious ensemble has been captured with Robert's psychdelic style; bringing a new vibrancy and life to the characters.
