Inspired by the work of Picasso, Bancusi, Ernst and Hepworth, he dedicated his life to experimenting and mastering multi-media artforms.

Ron Hitchins’ work has become increasingly sought after in recent years and has been purchased by major collections such as the V&A, sold at Christie's and Bonham's and has featured on the Antiques Roadshow.

Ron Hitchins (1926 – 2019) was a British born artist, sculptor, and flamenco dancer with a life-long connection to Hackney, London. He was born to a Lithuanian sex worker working in a Soho opium den, and a Chinese father. Inspired by the work of Picasso, Bancusi, Ernst and Hepworth, he dedicated his life to experimenting and mastering multi-media artforms. His own home served as a spectacular gallery for his life’s work, with tens of thousands of unique handmade terracotta tiles, fibreglass relief sculptures and imaginative furnishings. Ron Hitchins' house can be viewed on the website set up by the artist's estate. His tools were simple, comprising knives, paperclips and even a Biro tube, and he often worked naked due to the heat from the kiln, earning himself the nickname ‘The Naked Sculptor’. Although many motifs were repeated, each tile – astonishingly – is unique in precise design and composition. Ron Hitchins’ work has become increasingly sought after in recent years and has been purchased by major collections such as the V&A, sold at Christie's and Bonham's and has featured on the Antiques Roadshow.

- Large Panel of 9 Original Modernist Relief Sculptures by Ron HitchinsLocated in London, GBStunning original panel made of 9 handmade fibreglass relief sculptures from the artist's own home. Each sculpture is unique, with beautiful rust and copper tones, and several are signed by the artist. This very large, striking piece has a great Brutalist and Modernist feel. It is particularly notable as an example of Hitchin’s mastery of finishing techniques in simulating aged metal. The relief sculptures were visible outside of Ron’s house and became a Hackney landmark. They were carefully removed by the artist's estate after Ron passed away. Year: unknown (Ron was active from the mid 1960s to the early 2000s) Colour: Rust and copper tones Signature: 5 of the relief sculptures bear the artist's trademark initials “RH” Framing: The sculptures have been carefully mounted on a cotton covered board with a walnut wood trim and a hidden subrame on the reverse for ease of hanging.
