Simon Hitchens

Sculptor working in the public realm and gallery world alike.

[Simon Hitchens @SimonHitchens1]

I’m delighted to be exhibiting in ’Samhain’, the second chapter in an ongoing series of online exhibitions at AnimaMundi Gallery, responding to the rhythm of the seasons. Casting A Shadow Over The Cambrian captures a brief moment in time. Exhibition continues until 16/12/22.

Nice to be supported by @axisweb with this older but still relevant work.

3) The Flesh of the World 3, 2015 @simonhitchens1

This resin sculpture is part of a series titled 'The Flesh of the World', where the displaced rock casts have become almost body-like, zoomorphic re-formations that take on living qualities, transcending their geological origins.

Never seen this angle before - takes a photographer’s to spot it - so much to see and experience.

Bearing Witness to Things Unseen: a duality of perception exists here as two entirely different phenomena: surface and void, reflection and absorption, presence and absence. Does the sacred context add to or diminish the human experience? Do visit @ChiCathedral to find out more.

@ForBullitWin @ChiCathedral Come see the show and find out.

Beyond Body - my forthcoming solo show at @BlackSwanArts opens Saturday 30th April. This exhibition sets out to test the boundaries of what it is to be human by investigating the porous relationship we share with the non-human world of rock. #artexhibition #sculpture #artcurator

I am delighted to see my sculpture PHYSIS exhibited at @sim_manchester
This participatory sculpture, commissioned by @pfizeruk references a parasitic lung cancer tumour. The audience removes pieces of the root-like tentacles, making the cancer go into remission.
