Presentation & Biography

“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 AND OFFERS US, IN SHORT, A RETURN TO THE TRUE AND SERIOUS TRADITION.” SIR ROGER SCRUTON

ABOUT WILLIAM

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.

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.

Juliet and the Nurse by John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, 1863

Stanhope's 1863 painting Juliet and the Nurse takes its subject from Act III, Scene II of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. We see Juliet standing at the open casement, its glass decorated with shields showing cardinal's hats in sets of three, while lying on the carpeted floor at her feet are the coils of rope. Juliet's nurse is seated on the right, and watches her mistress with an expression of concern. In the chamber beyond is the bed where that night Romeo and Juliet will lie together. A triptych of the Mother and Child with Saints (loosely based on Duccio's altarpiece of c.1315 in the National Gallery), is displayed on the wall, as if to bless their union. The tragic sequence of events which will lead to the deaths of the 'star-cross'd lovers' are thus unfolding. Other interesting props shown in Stanhope's painting are the chair of ebony and inlaid ivory upon which the nurse is sitting, and which was loaned to Stanhope by Holman Hunt (and which Hunt himself had included in his own painting Il Dolce far Niente (ex Forbes Magazine Collection, New York)), and the arrangement of seven small mirrors set together into a circular wooden frame, of the type that Burne-Jones had used in paintings of the early 1860s showing medieval interiors, such as Rosamund and Queen Eleanor (private collection). From a young age Stanhope had read the plays of Shakespeare, as he had jokingly told his mother in a letter of about a decade earlier when he was a pupil of George Frederic Watts and was spending much of his time at the home of Mrs Thoby Prinsep, Little Holland House: 'I have seen nothing of the Prinseps lately. I have none the less got on very happily with the assistance of gentle Will Shakespeare, whom I read regularly at breakfast and dinner, when I find it acts as a first-rate digestive pill' (A.M.W. Stirling, A Painter of Dreams, 1916, pp.309-10). The care which the artist had taken to construct the composition owes much to Stanhope's knowlege of the works of Rossetti and Burne-Jones, as well as the formative training he had received from Watts. Furthermore, Stanhope was interested in the works of the old masters, visiting museums and collections in the course of his foreign travels and always looking for ways to include into his own art the lessons learnt from these examples. He had written on one occasion from Venice: 'I have been studying Tintoret a great deal lately. He is a most extraordinary genius and I think deserves the comparison that a Frenchman made to me the other day at the Table d'Hôte which was that he thought the genius of Tintoret very much resembled that of Shakespeare both in power and quality' (A.M.W. Stirling, A Painter of Dreams, London, 1916, p.322). More particularly, Juliet and the nurse shows the interior space of the room and its contents with a meticulousness that suggests the study of north European Renaissance art, familiar to British painters through the examples on display in the National Gallery and from visits to the Low Countries. In addition, the influence of contemporary Flemish art on Stanhope's art was suggested in a review of the 1863 Royal Academy exhibition. The critic of the Art Journal observed that the painting betrayed 'mediaeval influences, probably reflected from the work of [Hendrik] Leys', and suggested that Stanhope may have had the opportunity to study such works when they had appeared at the 1862 International exhibition. The painting has a wonderful depth and richness of colour, carefully modulated but also striking in contrasts. Stanhope's friend Edward Burne-Jones is reported to have said once when they were young men, perhaps at the time of their collaboration with Rossetti on the murals from Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur for the Debating Chamber of the Oxford University Union building, that '[Stanhope's] colour is beyond anything the finest in Europe'. Many years later, shortly before his death, Burne-Jones weighed up the particular attributes that made Stanhope's art so admirable: he reckoned him still 'the greatest colourist of the century', but thought that in his later career he had lost something of the close attention to detail of which he had once been capable: 'But accuracy of technique never goes together with great colourists and great draughtsmen' (both references, A.M.W. Stirling, A Painter of Dreams, London, 1916, p.334). Juliet and the nurse was perhaps the type of painting by Stanhope that Burne-Jones was remembering, done in the earlier years of the artist's career and at a time when his lyrical feeling for colour was still allied to the careful representation of surfaces and textures. Juliet and the nurse was presumably painted at Sandroyd House at Cobham in Surrey, built by Philip Webb for Stanhope in 1860. Burne-Jones may in fact have seen it in the studio there, because he is known to have visited Stanhope at about the time it was in hand. Apparently it was placed at the Royal Academy in 1863 where it was difficult to see. Nonetheless, the painting was applauded by the critic of the Athenaeum, who believed that, 'notwithstanding slight evidences of inexperience in painting, and something of the like in composition, this work tells its tale with great spirit and success'. The writer concurred with Burne-Jones that Stanhope's strength was as a colourist: 'Mr Stanhope has an excellent perception of colour and a love of rich tone'.  CSN

What It’s like when your parents win the lottery

It’s often a question asked at networking events, on a first date, or in a kitchen at 1am at a house party – ‘what would you do if you won the lottery?’

I’ve been asked that question many times myself and have never known how to actually respond because for me, it happened. Well, it happened to my parents.

In May 2004, my dad’s lottery ticket changed our family’s life forever.

I don’t remember much about that exact time other than we had no flooring in our house because of a leak and one day I came home to find National Lottery memorabilia including mugs and stickers in our house.

Our parents never explicitly explained to my sister and I what happened. I was nine years old and my sister was five – so my sister especially was too young to understand.

Instead, we went from looking forward to starting a new school year at the local state school to shopping for brand new uniform so come September we could start at a private all-girls school. A trip to Disneyland Paris, Australia & New Zealand were also suddenly on the horizon.

In December of 2004, we moved into our ‘Posh’ house. We have lived there ever since. I couldn’t get my head around how every bedroom in the house had its own bathroom, and to be honest I still can’t now. The man who owned it before us was a hotelier and modelled the house around luxury hotels. It has a big, steep two-acre garden with tall trees at the bottom of it – in the Winter when it snows it looks like Narnia. We even have a secret room behind a bookcase.

As a nine-year-old girl, it felt like a mechanical crane had picked me up by the scruff of my neck and dumped me from the school I felt completely at home in, to one that was a total unknown.

A completely new beginning and lifestyle change. I went from running around a football field, climbing trees and screaming and shouting at break time to getting told off by teachers if my skirt was too high above my knee and my top button was undone.

Everyone in my year had a Dad who worked in finance or maybe he was a lawyer or a doctor. Their houses might’ve had a swimming pool, they might’ve had 3 cars, a dog and 2 ponies or even a helicopter.

And then there was me, with my weird little secret that I couldn’t tell anybody.

I remember the screwed up, puzzled faces of girls in the lunch queue trying to work out how my parents were able to send me to this posh school on the hill when my mum was only a Health Care Assistant and my Dad was only a Painter/Decorator. I quickly got very good at making up little white lies or changing the subject entirely.

As I progressed into secondary school, I adjusted into the role of a bit of a geeky class clown who could mould herself into several characters depending on who she was with. Now, as an adult I can say that I hated secondary school. It was too stuffy; I hated the formalities of it and regularly clashed with several of my teachers. I also still felt like a fraud and a bit of an outsider and put pressure on myself to do well so my parents ‘got their moneys worth’. This cocktail of emotions all became a bit of a melting pot and so I moved school to study A Levels.

Again, I found myself as the new girl but this time I felt a bit more in control and ultimately had a much happier experience during my two years there.

After A Levels, I applied for university and got into my first choice.

Here, I realised my friendship net would expand beyond the realms of posh countryside Surrey and I’d be meeting people from all walks of life who may not have had the privileges that a National Lottery win can bring you.

University really was the best three years of my life and helped to shape me into the person I am today. Because I was completely out of Surrey, it was the first time I felt like I could truly be ‘me’ and not have the pressure of keeping things from my friends. I remember the first time I got the blessing from my parents that is was OK to finally be able to tell my friends about the lottery win, and the nerves I felt when I invited them to stay at mine for the first time, would they still accept me?

When you tell people your parents won the lottery there tends to be 4 reactions:

1)    The suspicious ‘I don’t believe you / you’re lying’

2)     The condescending ‘How/Why did it happen to you?’ ‘You don’t deserve it’

3)    The enthusiastic ‘WOWWW / HOW MUCH DID YOU WIN / SHUT UPPPP / OH MY GOD’

4)    The nonchalant ‘Ahh Ok, anyway…xyz’

Life has taught me the good people tend to give the fourth or third response, and those who give the first or second response tend to be ones to be wary of.

There is no doubt that the lottery win changed my life forever in so many ways. Money is undoubtedly the key to many doors that not everyone gets to open. People who preach ‘money can’t buy you happiness’ are lying. It may not explicitly be able to buy you happiness, and don’t get me wrong my family have been through enough personaI losses over the last sixteen years, but it certainly does elevate you in other ways and provides financial stability that before you could’ve only dreamed of.

I often wonder who Jessica would be today if it hadn’t happened.

As an adult now, I am much more accepting of my situation and recognise its privilege entirely and I understand why there was a need to keep the lottery win a ‘secret’. I feel more comfortable telling people about it because I know they’ll accept me for me and not the girl whose parents won the lottery, which is why I’m now finally writing this.

Pieter Casteels III - Melons, grapes and peaches before a stone ledge and a bronze urn filled with chrysanthemums, roses, tulips and other flowers - 

Pieter Casteels III (1684–1749) was a Flemish painter and engraver mainly known for his flower pieces, game pieces and bird scenes. He spent a significant portion of his life in England where he had a varied career as a still life painter, printmaker and textile designer.

Pieter Casteels III was born in Antwerp as the son of Elisabeth Bosschaert and Pieter Casteels II, a painter of landscapes and history paintings. He trained with his father. In 1708 he left with his brother-in-law Peter Tillemans to England to work for a picture dealer named Turner for whom they made copies of Old Master paintings. Casteels became an active participant in London's artistic community, subscribing to the Kneller Academy of Painting and Drawing in 1711 and becoming a member of the Rose and Crown Club. He returned briefly to Antwerp in 1712 where he became a member of the local Guild of Saint Luke in the same year.

Casteels settled permanently in England around 1717. He developed a successful practice as a painter of flowers and exotic birds that chiefly served a decorative purpose as overdoors and chimney-pieces. He worked simultaneously as an art dealer and imported paintings from Europe. His customers included James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby who bought imported art as well as original work of Casteels.

In 1726 Casteels launched a subscription for a set of 12 prints of birds, which he had etched after his own designs. The success of this project encouraged him to work on two further publications: the Twelve Months of Flowers and the Twelve Months of Fruit.

Casteels advertised the usefulness of the illustrations in these publications as patterns for workers in luxury industries. Casteels was thus able to demonstrate his potential as a textile designer. In May 1735 he retired from painting and spent his last fourteen years working for a calico manufacturer as a residential artist, first at Martin Abbey near Tooting, Surrey, and later, briefly, in Richmond, London.

He died on 16 May 1749 in Richmond after a long illness.
