▲Ronald Cameron (ARR Applies)

Ronald Cameron was born in London in 1930 and studied at the Camberwell College of Art from 1947- 53.  After working as a graphic artist he was asked to make the TV puppets for Gerry Anderson's films of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90, producing 60 heads in all.  Commissions for soldiers and farm animals followed for  Britain's and Airfix, which in turn lead to work modelling miniature figures as promotional gifts for companies such as Kelloggs and Shell Oil, together with sports trophies for events like Batsman of the Year, won by Clive Lord and the Professional Snooker championship won by Steve Davis. 

Commercial success meant that in the 1980's he was able to concentrate more on producing larger scale sculpture for commissions and galleries including the Alwin Gallery in Mayfair London, where his work was exhibited alongside works by Elisabeth Frink and Henry Moore.

Other exhibitions and commissions included:

Whitford Gallery in Duke St., St James's, London;
Three relief figures for the Athens Olympics;
Giant Panda collection boxes commissioned by Sir Peter Scott for the World Wildlife Fund;
Miniature figures for the Chapman brothers "Holocaust";
A Nude figure which won the sculpture prize in the 2002 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition;
An over life size bust of the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf for the National Portrait Gallery.

This work is illustrated in Ronald Cameron's catalogue.
