Violet Hopkins
Violet Hopkins is an American painter. She holds a BFA from the University of Texas at Austin, and an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts, Valencia.[1] Hopkins work often draws inspiration from found images of the natural and scientific world, using ink, pencil and paint to transform them into color-rich, dynamic scenes that incorporate both abstract and figurative elements.
Amra Brooks, in Artforum called her 2006 "Chromatophoric" exhibition at David Kordansky Gallery, "magical."[2]
An exhibition in New York 2009 was based around the 1977 Voyager space program.[3] Time Out concluded that "Violet Hopkins's latest paintings won't blow your mind... [but] her project acknowledges art's challenge to interact with a vast, ever-changing world."[4]
Several of Hopkins' works reside in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.[5]
