About

Gordon Hopkins an American artist, born 1965. His work finds its strength
in his unique technique and use of strong color. He often sets the
outline of everyday objects over layers of color, building up the
material using Oil bar and paint.Patterns, forms, fish,gardens to
landscapes are some of the the many subjects in his work. Currently
living and working in Brussels Belgium and through his travels throughout Europe
he gathers new ideas and images for his paintings.
“ In my work as an artist it is very important for me to explore the
use of bold colors with many layers, repetition and larger then life format.
I like to accentuate or exaggerate a sometimes ordinary object or image.
The composition often breaks down into an imaginary world of outlines and
colorful backgrounds creating depth and movement.” His representation
emphasizes the beauty and perhaps overlooked context of our natural surroundings.
