David Oxtoby was born in Horsforth, Yorkshire, in 1938. He studied initially in Bradford, then at the Royal Academy Schools from 1960-64. He joined the Redfern Gallery in 1964 and exhibited there regularly until 1981. Oxtobys subjects are his childhood heroes - the Americans who redefined the terms of popular music in the 1950s. He has attempted to communicate through paint the emotion and excitement he felt when hearing these performers for the first time. This has since become a lifelong obsession, and he has dedicated his career to producing a comprehensive visual document of the great popular musicians of the 1950s and '60s, especially Elvis, Chuck Berry and Ray Charles, through to the Glam Rock of the '70s, as led by David Bowie.
