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.
