About the Item
Monumental panel of 15 handmade fibreglass relief sculptures from the artist's own home. Each sculpture is signed and unique, with beautiful tarnished gold tones.
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 panel formed part of the furnishings in Ron's home and was carefully removed by the Artist's Estate after Hitchins passed away. Each tile has since been carefully restored by Cal Smith Gallery.
Year: unknown (Ron was active from the mid 1960s to the early 2000s)
Colour: Tarnished gold
Signature: Each relief sculpture bears the artist's trademark initials “RH”
Framing: The sculptures have been carefully mounted with a walnut frame and a hidden subrame on the reverse for ease of hanging.
Authenticity: This piece was purchased directly from the Artist's Estate and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the sole executor of the Ron Hitchins estate.

About the artist:
Ron Hitchins (1928 – 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.
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.

Grey Brutalist Sculptural Collage Artwork, Mural from Upcycled Wood
By Peter Glassford
Located in San Antonio, TX
These SOFT GREY collage tiles are composed randomly from recycled wood remnants and when installed bathe any space with a warm feeling and texture which is meditative, sanded to a soft finish, and protected with lacquer and wax. The works convey an energized tranquility, a chaotic Brutalism from accidental beginnings.
PRICED BY THE SQUARE FOOT, these hardwood panels function both as decorative art and acoustic baffles in large spaces. No two panels are alike, each is a random collage and they can be hung in any order. The arrangement of tiles is entirely up to the client, becoming part of this process, selecting and arranging the tiles however they wish.
The collage tiles are sold in modular sizes and are priced by square feet. They can be ordered in 1x1, 1x2, and 2x2 foot sizes, the pricing is based on 1, 2, and 4 units respectively. The collages are made from recycled wood cuttings from furniture factories and mounted on 1/2" MDF board, trimmed square, and given a furniture finish with matte lacquer and wax.
Please see attached specification sheet for further details.
Finish: Soft Grey
MINIMUM ORDER: 8 SQ/ FT
