Clyde Hopkins has worked in studios in Deptford and Greenwich for
some thirty years, and is currently Head of Painting at Chelsea
College of Art. His work has been shown in many public and private
galleries in the UK, mainland Europe and the USA, in both solo and
group exhibitions, including the Serpentine, Hayward, Ikon, Whitechapel,
Leeds City, and Joan Prats NYC galleries. Recent exhibitions include
the Martin Tinney Gallery, Cardiff, (with Carol Robertson and John
McLean), and Advanced Graphics London, who published two editions
of screen prints by the artist.
He has strong connections with Hastings, which is close to his
place of birth, and has exhibited work in many exhibitions in this
area.
His work has been described as 'gormless abstraction', amongst
other things, but this has not prevented it from entering a number
of public and private collections.
