Like a quadraphenic absent-minded horder, Oakleys choices of medium substrate and subject matter change with every intake of breath. Though very diverse in execution and delivery there are obvious visual connections linking the work together. This collection is a time slice, with traces of Oakleys’ previous incarnations, from Film to Mosaics, Aerosol to Acrylics including the reuse of collectables that are reborn as Modern object D’art with a huge wedge of irony and black humour. In his larger paintings Oakley confidently overlays and repeats shapes using strong colours that create an up lifting, engaging and atmospheric feeling. There is a uniformity hidden within the chaos that keeps the viewer comfortably engaged.
