Simon Hitchens graduated in Fine Art from the University of the West of England in 1990 and his work has been exhibited around the world since then. He frequently exhibits in solo and group exhibitions, undertaking private commissions and numerous large-scale public commissions. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Sculptors in 1998, is an RWA Academician, the Grandson of Ivon Hitchens and the fourth generation of artist in his family.

 

His large-scale public commissions for private companies, public bodies and town councils are always concerned with the specifics of place whilst retaining the integrity of his sculptural voice. Over the years he has built a robust ability to proactively work alongside art consultants, property developers, planners, project managers, builders, architects and engineers etc. in order to deliver projects of the highest calibre. They can be seen in many locations across England.
