Andrew Hopgood’s paintings aren’t your typical wildlife portraits. Sure, you’ll find recognizable creatures – elephants, whales, owls – but they exist in a dreamscape where reality bends and imagination takes flight. Hopgood’s canvas transforms into fantastical jungles where elephants sprout wings and whales breach through clouds.
Intricate details abound – feathers on an owl morph into swirling galaxies, a giraffe’s neck stretches towards a crescent moon. The artist’s use of light and shadow further adds to the otherworldly quality, casting the creatures in an ethereal glow. Each piece is an invitation to explore a world where the boundaries between dream and reality dissolve, leaving the viewer breathless with wonder.
