Portfolio
Many of Bill Hoopes´ paintings reflect his own perspective on the family and parenthood in the midst of current social events and the earth's precarious ecological and political situation. Some of his works depict the peaceful co-existence which can occur between humans and nature, while others emphasize the more imminent consequences of failure to recognize our contribution to environmental and social imbalance. Still other paintings directly examine how the union between humankind and nature is influenced by the social and political issues of our times. Hoopes uses his art to carry a social message. Hoopes suggests that as we examine our role as both users and guardians of this planet, we can begin to accept our responsibility for maintaining and preserving our environment.
Land-Escapes
Inspired by the beauty of the natural world, Hoopes' landscapes depict As one artist observed, Hoopes’ interpretation of nature are like “looking through to the other side of a mirror”. His idyllic scenes evoke a soothing, romanticized vision that conveys a feeling of familiarity while at the same time evoking the sense of a place waiting to be discovered. Bill’s stylistic approach to handling form, combined with a subtle tweaking of space result in a greater sense of compositional movement and an attempt to reveal the fragile soul and precarious nature of his environments.
