TONY OXLEY (1938 – 2023) is admired the world over as an extremely influential improvising drummer, band leader and educator. In addition to his drumming legacy, Oxley was also a prolific and very accomplished abstract-figurative painter. Visual art was an essential part of Tony’s personality, another way in which he was able to reveal his inner self and connect with the wider realm. Initially encouraged to start painting by his musical collaborator and friend, renowned Scottish artist Alan Davie (the influence of which is very apparent in Oxley’s early works from the 1970s), Tony navigated his way visually across five decades, working his way through many different styles, stages and approaches.
