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. 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.

    Located in London, GB
    Stunning 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.
