Huxley

Huxley is a Cheshire-based professional painter working predominantly in post-impressionist and abstract oil styles, operating out of his studio in the region. His work embraces a wide range of subject matter: while landscapes and cityscapes remain a strong and recurring focus, he also explores whatever themes draw his attention, including portraits and more contemporary, abstract compositions.

In his earlier period, Huxley’s paintings were influenced heavily by the Impressionists and the Scottish Colourists, notably Samuel Peploe, whose use of colour, light, and expressive brushwork shaped his developing style. As his practice evolved, Huxley increasingly drew on the pioneering abstract visions of Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky, embracing the freedoms and possibilities of abstraction that continue to inform his later works.

Huxley’s art is characterised by a thoughtful balance between structure and spontaneity, using bold colour relationships and dynamic compositions to convey atmosphere and emotion. His paintings often invite the viewer to engage with the familiar in a new way — transforming ordinary scenes into vibrant, resonant expressions of place, energy, and mood.
