Ralph Brown was born in Leeds. He studied at Leeds College of Art, famous at the time for two of its former students, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, and at the Royal College of Art in London.

Scholarships followed, firstly to Paris in 1951 to work in the studio of Ossip Zadkine and later to Italy in 1954 to study Etruscan sculpture. He also worked for a period in Cannes making mosaic panels for Picasso. Brown was elected a Royal Academician in 1972. A major retrospective of his sculpture and drawings was held by the Henry Moore Centre for Sculpture in Leeds City Art Galleries in 1988. His work can be found in many public collections including the Arts Council of Great Britain, Bristol City Art Gallery, Leeds City Art Gallery, The National Museum of Wales and the Tate Gallery, London.
