Ron Hitchins
Monumental Panel of 15 Brutalist Relief Sculptures by Ron Hitchins

Circa 1960s

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.
