PHILL HOPKINS
(b. 1961 Bristol, UK)

Phill Hopkins is a British contemporary artist whose versatile practice has a multifaceted nature. He has created a body of work that is remarkably diverse, yet firmly rooted within a complex and coherent artistic strategy.

He is predominantly a painter, who makes drawings and photographs, and sometimes makes sculpture. He works with a range of media, from the traditional to the unconventional.

Brought-up in a working class family in Bristol, school was difficult but he excelled at art though did not experience the world of art beyond the classroom until accidentally visiting The Arnolfini Gallery when he was fifteen.

He studied at Goldsmiths College of Art in London and has exhibited in museums and galleries including The Imperial War Museum, Kettles Yard, Laing Art Gallery, Hungarian Museum of Photography, Whitworth Art Gallery, Leeds Art Gallery, John Hansard Gallery, The Usher Gallery and The Henry Moore Centre for the Study of Sculpture.
