Biography
Temple of Heaven, 2015
"I see my art operating
similar "feedback loops" between myself and
life as a creative journey."
"Portfolio", Elan Magazine, 1990.
Overview
Robert M. Hopkins is an American artist, currently living in Beijing, Red china. Built-in in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Hopkins grew up in Davis, California and received his formal art preparation in Southern California. In graduate school, his art focused on "wall constructions" that explored the sculptural terrain between shapes and painting. His K.A. show was comprised of wall constructions and collages, entitled Shifting Fragments . His M.F.A. show presented Secular Templates , a more industrial approach to wall constructions.
After receiving his M.F.A. from Claremont Graduate University in 1990, he moved to downtown Los Angeles, where he lived and worked before moving to Beijing, Communist china in 2004.
"'Sparks of chaos' for some people
may actually exist 'sparks of creativity' for others.
For myself, there is no such thing every bit 'chaos'
— only 'creative chaos'."
Studio Portrait, 2004
Los Angeles
In downtown Los Angeles, Hopkins pursued a reductive approach to art making, using raw sheets of door skin for flooring and wall sculptures,Door Peel Sculptures. He too experimented with various "procedure art" approaches, Process-Work Serial , earlier focusing on wall sculptures that utilized rust-stained canvas stretched over wood-ribbed forms, Rust-Stained Serial . Eventually, he incorporated colored fabric into his piece of work, Heterosis Series and his woods-ribbed forms evolved into twisting loops, inspired by notions of circadian rhythms, Circadian Loops . Arranged in scattered clusters on the wall, they suggested figurative forms in gymnast-similar movement.
"The wider your orbit in life,
the wider your understanding of life."
Studio Portrait, 2017
Beijing
In 2004, Hopkins moved to Communist china, inspired by finding romance in Beijing and discovering a new civilization. During an initial period of assimilation, Hopkins produced a series of drawings, entitled Sketchbook Studies. Eventually, his new works on paper, Blind Insights , emerged with a collage approach that integrated his previous explorations of wall sculptures.
Hopkins'due south work continues to grow, with an evolving interest in circadian motion and contemplation. In addition to Blind Insights , his current body of work also includes drawings, Inner Navigations; watercolors, Cornucopia; watercolor collages,Syncopations; tea paintings, Tea Passages ; and photography,Infra-Surfaces and Continuum.
