The pieces, inspired by the city’s rich cultural legacy and created by local artists, were unveiled by Grainger plc as part of a collaboration with Creative Debuts.
The project aims to celebrate the city and the artistic talent within its community.
Artists of all abilities and genres were invited to enter the contest to secure two spaces for artwork at the new residential development and a £3,000 cash prize.
A panel of judges selected acclaimed portraitist Tom Croft and rising star Phoebe Birch as the winners.
Tom Croft, 54, from Oxford, submitted Lifetime in Oxford, Captured on Canvas, which showcased the city’s vibrant history and architecture.
Mr Croft said: “This project was deeply personal to me.
“My father was an architect, and The Radcliffe Camera was his favourite building, so my painting is a nod to him, to the city that shaped me, and to the timeless beauty of Oxford’s architecture.”
Phoebe Birch, 19, from East London, is a first-year Fine Art student at the university’s Ruskin School of Art.
The judges said student Miss Birch has an incredible ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, and her Everyday Joys Through an Artistic Lens was also selected.
The teenager’s work focuses on capturing the lively social atmosphere of Oxford and celebrating the beauty in everyday moments.
She said: “My aim was to paint the people of Oxford enjoying their surroundings, showcasing the joy and vibrancy of the city.
“Through this project, I wanted to remind residents of the unique stories and shared experiences that make Oxford so special.”
The winning pieces were unveiled at a special VIP event hosted at The Kimmeridge, where residents, stakeholders, and art enthusiasts gathered to celebrate the artists’ achievements.
The Kimmeridge is a development of 150 new rental homes in Botley, to the west of the city, and is a milestone for Grainger and Oxford, who have welcomed its first build-to-rent property.
Fiona McDonald, head of onboarding at Grainger, said: “At Grainger, we believe in fostering community spirit and celebrating local talent.
“With The Kimmeridge being the first-ever purpose-built rental development in Oxford, we wanted to try something unique with the artwork, to really celebrate the city within our new development, whilst providing a platform for the local art community.”
Calum Hall, founder at Creative Debuts, added: “This initiative from Grainger is a testament to the thriving artistic community in Oxford and it’s inspiring to see projects like this giving artists the opportunity to showcase their work.”
