The art of Mark Hopkins is in every way a reflection of its
creator. His subjects are as numerous and varied as his
interests – wildlife, history, children, fantasy, sports,
music, etc. With a style so flowing and alive it has been
called “bronze in motion,” the work is as passionate and
expressive as the man.
Mark Hopkins is considered one of the premier sculptors in the
United States today. From tabletop sculpture to monuments, his
work is displayed in homes, offices, and public settings
around the world.It has taken half a lifetime to achieve
such prominent status. For many years, there was mostly
struggle and discouragement. The necessity of providing for
his family frequently took Mark off course into other
vocations. Always, though, his heart yearned to return to the
work he knew he was born to do.
Mark’s artistic ability began to develop early in his
childhood, first with drawing and painting. Then, in his early
teens, with the encouragement of a caring school teacher, he
discovered sculpture. From the moment of that discovery,
sculpture has been his passion. In the more than 30 years
since, this passion has become a thriving professional career.
In addition to his skill as an artist, Mark made himself a
technical expert in “lost wax” bronze casting. In 1988, he
established Mark Hopkins Sculpture, Inc., a bronze foundry
nestled in the foothills of the northwest Georgia mountains.
There he brought together a talented group of skilled
craftsmen, many of whom are artists in their own right.
This core group has been involved with the production of
Mark’s work from the beginning of the company. With many
collective years of experience, this expert team can insure
that each sculpture represents the highest in quality,
craftsmanship, and beauty. They make it possible to offer
sculpture for extraordinary prices, available to people who
never thought they could afford fine art. |
