Ron Lyon sculptures

Ron received no formal training, but from an early age has been a compulsive maker of sculpture in a wide variety of materials.  Experience in engineering led him to use metals, and then to turn his range of clay figures into permanent sculptures using cold cast bronze.  There is a degree of abstraction, hence the lack of features, so that, in his own words, "Each piece represents not the particular but the universal".

We regret to say that the gallery will no longer be able to supply collectors with these beautiful pieces as, sadly, Ron passed away earlier this year.  The sculptures shown are at the gallery until they have all been sold.  So please contact us if you would like one reserving or posting.  We would like to share with you Ron's moving and enduring epitaph, which he wrote himself.  Please scroll down the page.

Ron Lyon Epitaph

The shadows lengthen and

My sun slips to the horizon.

When it merges with that black rim

All of me that will remain

Will be in others’ memories.

Remember me,

As one who loved the sound of words

And the comfort of a good book.

Remember me,

As one who enjoyed learning

And the study of the past.

Remember me,

As one who felt the deep stir of verse

And saw the colours of poetic imagery.

Remember me,

As one who loved the touch of stone

And the shape of sculptured bronze.

Remember me,

As one who was moved by mighty music

And thrilled to the sound of a trained voice.

Remember me,

As one who saw the beauty in a flower

And lifted his eyes to the glory of the hills.

Remember me,

As one who loved life itself with passion

His friends, his pets and his home.

Remember me,

Above all as one who lifelong loved the girl he married

Who made him this man and gave him his fine children.

Remember me.
