Trevor Hoppen is a composer of the expressionist style familiar to the 1930's & 40's. His bold and full-colour, expressionistic paintings are reminiscent of a bygone era when abstraction was experimental. Kaleidoscopes often feature in Hoppen’s work. “…someone said to me, "It's all about scopes for you, the eye-piece…they have been an on-going theme in my work…I am influenced by Kandinsky and my peers’’ Trevor Hoppen.
Trevor Hoppen was born in Ringwood, Melbourne. In 1981 he completed a Diploma of Fine Art at Prahran College of Advanced Education. In 1982 he was part of the opening group exhibition at ‘Roar’ studios in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne. He later had solo exhibitions at William Mora Galleries and Brightspace. His work is in the collection of the Shepperton Art Gallery.
