Oxford-based illustrator Korky Paul to paint an ox for city's art trail at Westgate pop up
Oxford children's book illustrator Korky Paul will be painting an ox for the city's first-ever art sculpture trail.
The giant art installation event is being run by Sobell House Hospice and will culminate in a magnificent visitor trail that will run for six weeks from 6th July next year.
It will feature a unique artist-designed, life-sized oxen taking over the city’s biggest attractions and public spaces, and smaller mini herds of oxen in other locations across the county.
OxTrail is a fun and free art trail, where herds of life-sized and mini oxen will be taking over Oxfordshire for the summer.
Whether you’re a life-long local or a new visitor, OxTrail is a new and exciting adventure in celebration of our city of spires and the local community which makes it special.
The life-sized oxen will each be designed by talented artist Korky Paul, while the mini oxen will be lovingly decorated by local schools and youth groups.
Once the trail is over, the life-sized oxen will be herded together for a final time and auctioned off to graze in their forever homes. The funds raised through the auction will help to fund the life-enhancing care that Sobell House Hospice provides.
