Biography
Clyde D. F. Hopkins (b. Bexhill, Sussex, UK 1946 - d. 2018) studied at Reading University (1966-69) and later became head of painting at Winchester School of Art. Working from a studio in Hastings, Sussex, he was an abstract artist whose works evoked huge space and cloud-like forms, and later had a darker surface with light sources behind. He was represented in a number of survey shows, including the South Bank Centre’s 1988–9 touring exhibition The Presence of Painting. In 1985–6 a one-man show toured Britain including at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, and he had a solo exhibition at Francis Graham-Dixon Gallery in 1992.
