He just tried to copy another artist’s portraits. A rather common thing with third tier (read amateur) artists.
But it’s the “message” don’t you know even though this so called artist was a copyist of mostly western art.
Shame on you. You whetted my curiosity to see more of Hopkinson’s paintings...and now I can’t unsee them. Gah. I need the eye soap, bad.
He’s really worse than third rate. I hope he wasn’t/isn’t popular. I saw maybe one ok work. The rest...I just wish I hadn’t seen.
