Martin Hewitt was an English architect and close friend of the artist Gulammohammed Sheikh. They met when Sheikh was was studying at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London on a Commonwealth scholarship in the mid-1960s. During Sheikh's third and last year in the city, he shared a basement flat in Addison Gardens, West London, with Hewitt and two other architects, Shreeram Marathe and David Cocherane. Interestingly, one of the works Sheikh exhibited at his RCA Examination Show that year was a portrait of Hewitt (Composition in Green and Black, 1966). After Sheikh's return to India, Hewitt visited him there in 1968, designing the sets for the production of 'Blood Wedding' at the Faculty of Fine Arts of M.S. University in Baroda that Sheikh directed that year, and documenting his life and work along with that of close friends like Bhupen Khakhar in a series of photographs.
