Professor and the Art Department Chair at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, Janette Hopper rejects the classical research of an ideal of beauty and an eternal essence of things, and postulates instead as predominant the real vision compared to any learned conventional theory. The work that results from this vision is the most conspicuous characteristic of Impressionism and Hopper effectively, accurately and objectively records visual reality in terms of transient effects of light and color. Her astute search of sites protected from industrialization translates to the canvas with a fiery dedication to preserve her environment and to depict this form and volume from a mass of colored brushworks. Hopper’s work has been shown extensively in major museums, at colleges and universities and in private galleries. Collections and previous exhibitions include France, Germany, Italy, Denmark as well as several galleries and museums across the United States. Hopper currently lives, works and creates in Red Springs, North Carolina. |
