Born in Bristol, Phill Hopkins studied at Goldsmiths College in London. He lives and works in Leeds. He has exhibited widely; recently being included in Becky Beasley’s ‘I Fall to Pieces’ (named after his piece) at Leeds City Art Gallery. He is represented in various public collections, including, Imperial War Museum, London; Stadt Dortmund, Germany; Hungarian Museum of Photography and Leeds City Art Gallery. Forthcoming exhibitions include ‘Catalyst: Contemporary Art & War’, Imperial War Museum North; Paper Gallery, Manchester and Galerie Pack of Patches, Germany. He says of his practice, “Drawing is at the centre of everything. Not only is it at the core of my practise as an artist, but, possibly more importantly, it allows me to be tethered to and in myself and the world”
