Spadge Hopkins Artist
A series of copper sculptures exploring two of the binaries of sculpture; volume and void, whilst also playing with the use of light and shadow and whose form is influenced by the work of Alexander Calder.
These sculptures explore questions of value following experince of conflict, poor leadership and waste. Spadge Hopkins has adapted the Nouveau Realiste aesthetic which favoured the use of everyday and discarded objects for poetic ends.
Spadge Hopkins was the lead creative for 'Coda' the permanent art memorial to Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd in The Cambridge Guildhall, unveiled in 2017. Inspired, he then created a series of sculptures depiciting some of his favourite rock 'icons' which often involve movement, projection, light and shadow.

Artworks can be purchased from the artist. Please contact Spadge directly if you wish to make an enquiry.
Sculptures are all available as indoor or outdoor sculptures.
The indoor sculptures can be scaled up and surface treated to allow them to live outdoors.
Many of Spadge’s pieces are unique. Several of his copper sculptures have been hand made in a limited batch of 5. The process of laser cutting which is all done by Spadge himself except for the actual machine work, lends itself to mass-production. However, all Spadge’s designs are limited to a run of 10, no matter what size. They are now marked as ev (edition Variee) */10 as well as being signed.
