Paul G. Oxborough: New Works
Cavalier Gallery in New York City is excited to announce a solo exhibition titled
Paul G. Oxborough: New Works, opening on
May 1, 2025, and on view until
June 7, 2025. This showcase is set to feature over
30 mesmerizing paintings that encapsulate the artist's unique ability to portray warmth and hospitality in various settings around the globe.
The opening reception will take place from
6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on the launch day, providing art enthusiasts an opportunity to meet the artist and immerse themselves in his captivating imagery. Oxborough is known for his breathtaking depictions of bar and restaurant scenes inspired by his extensive travels. The environments he paints include iconic locations such as Venice, London, Tokyo, and Havana, reflecting the vibrancy of each city's culture.
In Oxborough's latest collection, viewers will notice a seamless blend of realism and emotion, achieved through the artist's skilled techniques reminiscent of the Old Masters, yet imbued with a distinctly modern sensibility. For instance, repetitive themes arise in the portrayal of renowned locations like the
King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City, where many will recognize the signature red jackets of the bartenders, or the famed
Caffè Florian in Venice.
Through his expressive brushwork, Oxborough captures more than just the essence of a scene; he immortalizes the moment when sunlight floods through a window, dances off a glass, or reflects off a polished surface. Each painting serves as a portal to a shared experience, inviting viewers to step into his world and witness interactions imbued with intimacy and warmth. The figures that populate these works, whether they be patrons or staff, exhibit a deep sense of humanity and storytelling, ensuring that each canvas resonates on a personal level.
Oxborough’s artistry thrives on observation. His ability to sketchetle the narratives of everyday life is informed by his experiences, as he keenly observes the interactions around him during his travels. He focuses on the unseen heroes of hospitality—the bartenders, waiters, and other service workers—who enhance the ambiance and facilitate moments of joy and connection.
Back in the studio,
Oxborough's paintings transform into exquisite visual narratives, each piece a reflection of his insatiable wanderlust and artistic spirit. With every new work, he offers a glimpse into our shared reality—a reflection that not only captures a scene but also evokes imagination and elicits a reaction from all who engage with his art.
