from London, United Kingdom

Clyde Hopkins was born in Bexhill, East Sussex, UK, in 1946 and studied Fine Art at the University of Reading in the 1960s. He currently works in a studio at APT, Deptford, and in St Leonards on Sea. Although principally a painter he also makes prints, recently with Advanced Graphics London. Clyde has exhibited work for over forty years, from a schoolboy show in the Gas Showrooms, Barrow in Furness, Cumbria, in 1964 to recent shows in London, Cardiff and Hastings. Clyde's work is in a number of public and private collections in the UK and North America, including the Arts Council of Great Britain and Andersen Consulting (three commissioned works). In 1980-81 he was awarded the Mark Rothko Fellowship (USA) and, in 1998-99, the Lorne Award. Clyde has curated several exhibitions, either singly or jointly; a large survey exhibition of painting at Chelsea, ‘…Same As It Ever Was’, held in 2008, was shown in three UAL gallery venues.
