Robert Oxley
ENSEMBLE
It’s time to pull back the curtains on the new Ensemble collection by Robert Oxley. This showstopping selection captures the artist's childhood memories of Jim Henson’s classic puppet characters, which aired to a new audience when The Muppet Show launched in 1976. Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Animal all take centre stage in this collectible release. “The Muppets were a much-loved part of my childhood,” says Robert. “They were on TV on a Sunday evening, and I remember wishing The Muppet Show would never end, because as soon as it did it was bedtime, ready for a week of school. It’s been great to revisit childhood memories. It’s fun to remember, isn’t it?”
“I’ve taken some well-loved characters and given them a new feel; maybe a little weird, definitely different, very much recognisable and well-loved.”
