Please note this piece is unopened in the original packaging which has a cellophane wrap. This has caused reflections in the photographs. James Bond standing next to Aston Martin DB5. Ron Chadwick started his lifelong love of art as a schoolboy before going on to graduate from the Medway College of Art with a 1st class degree in Visual Communications.

During this time Ron also spent time teaching drawing and painting as he worked his way through college. After graduating in the late 70s, Ron moved to London & immersed himself in the vibrant art and music scene which gave birth to much of his work. His style is heavily influenced by the pop cultural revolution of the 60s, and calls back to some of the great popular artists of the last century - Jackson Pollock, Norman Rockwell & Richard Hamilton - all artists that Ron happily cites as influences on his work.

Ron is though, an artist made in his own image, firmly in control of his brush and the themes he transfers to the canvas. Ron's natural sense of the theatrical, and his flamboyancy are evident in the paintings. Having now spent four decades working as a painter, he has a vast armoury of experience, styles and techniques to draw on, and the freedom that brings with it breathes through this striking range of work.

This is very much an artist painting for his own satisfaction, as Ron himself puts it; I do it for myself.. I like to see what paint does and how it moves about the canvas.

Ron has featured in a large number of high-profile exhibitions over the years and these include the Blackheath Gallery, the Bankside Gallery, the Royal College of Art Fair, the Edinburgh Festival, Cafe Royal at Cambridge Circus, the Greenwich Theatre, the Palace Theatre and the former Sphere gallery at Spitalfields. He has also regularly exhibited in a number of places in his hometown of Whitstable, Kent.

Ron has a permanent residency at the Arte' Casa in Mallorca for over 8 years now where his work is both admired & respected by the European market. Recently Ron was invited to become a member of'THE UNITED SOCIETY OF ARTISTS', a prestigious calling that reflects his lifelong commitment to the art world and to the work and was proud to be winner of the Arqadia Prize in 2014. Ron is currently exhibiting at a number of major art galleries across the UK. Measures approximately 19" x 15" (49cm x 39 cm). Mounted in brushed gold effect frame with glazed front.
