I Wanna Be Like You | Robert Oxley

I Wanna Be Like You, a limited edition print on canvas by artist Robert Oxley in his signature colourful drip effect style which is also embellished on top of print for added texture.

Part of the Primal Colours Collection.

Robert says: “This is inspired by one of the first apes to learn sign language, Chantek the orangutan. I discovered him via a random TED Talk and was fascinated to discover that he was a keen painter who not only understood American sign language but also created his own way of communicating. For instance, he called ketchup ‘tomato toothpaste’ and contact lenses ‘eye drinks’ – which I love.”
