Christopher Oxley, an American artist, uses a variety of medium ranging from gouache and colored pencil to natural dyes and wood burning. His pieces focus on representing different cultures across the globe, such as the Baule peoples of Africa, the Haida clan of modern British Columbia or the Norsemen of Scandinavia. He combines local art styles of these cultures with their mythologies and takes inspiration from the diversity and energy of the natural world. His artwork is richly saturated and highly detailed, conveying the liveliness and natural beauty found in nature.
