Wave / Particle
A solo exhibition of paintings and drawings by Duncan Hopkins
About
An exhibition of 32 drawings and paintings produced between 2011 and 2018.
In quantum mechanics, light photons can be explained as behaving both as a wave and as a particle. This exhibition in the main gallery features new and existing paintings and drawings which are based around this non-geometric structural framework. The work is produced through observation and the intuitive creative process, and consists of objective, subjective and phenomenological studies of the sea, water, landscape, figure, and organic abstraction.
The work engages with concepts of chaos, complexity, tranquillity, perception, magic, shamanism and metaphor.
Duncan Hopkins lives and works in Bideford, North Devon and has been producing and experimenting with imagery from a young age. He was trained in graphic design, illustration and multimedia, and has a Masters in Fine Art. He has worked in web and graphic design, curation and gallery management, and has worked in a variety of non-art jobs. Painting and drawing remains an engaging, exploratory and ‘magical’ process.
