Phill Hopkins works from his studio in North Leeds – a small inspiring space crammed with new and existing work. Working across painting, drawing and small scale sculptures, Phill has exhibited widely in both Britain and abroad and has works in numerous collections including Leeds Art Gallery, the Imperial War Museum, London and Stadt Dortmund, Germany. He will be exhibiting at the London Art Fair 2015.

‘I use materials and images in a similar way; that is, I buy, acquire or find; self-sufficiency in the place where I live and work or the places I travel through and to. I am constantly foraging in the flotsam and jetsam of the tide line.’ Phill Hopkins, 2014
