Extremely high quality\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;piece 5.5\" tall x 6.5\" wide 6.3 pounds, solid bronze and very heavy for it's\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;size.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Biography\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Mark Hopkins, Sculptor, Loveland, Colorado.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Mark Hopkins is considered one of the premier sculptors in the United States\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;today. From tabletop sculpture to monuments, his work is displayed in homes,\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;offices, and public settings around the world.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Mark Hopkins’ work is in everyway, a reflection of its creator. It reveals\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Mark’s total fascination with nearly every conceivable aspect of life: from\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;history, children, sports, music and to wildlife of the land, sea and air. With\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;a style so flowing and alive it has been called “bronze in motion,” the work is\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;as passionate and expressive as the artist himself.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;For as long as he can remember, Mark has been captivated by form and design.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;From the time he was young boy, with the encouragement of family and teachers,\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;he worked to develop his innate talent, and explore the various techniques and\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;mediums of sculpture.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;In addition to his skill as an artist, Mark made himself a technical expert in\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;the art of “lost wax” bronze casting. At the Mark Hopkins Sculpture foundry,\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Mark monitors the casting process, insuring that the integrity of his work is\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;maintained throughout its creation in bronze. With the help of many talented\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;craftsmen, Mark endeavors to establish an enduring legacy of high-quality bronze\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;sculpture.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;It has taken half a lifetime for Mark to attain his preeminent status in the\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;world of art. For many years, the necessity of providing for his large family\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;took Mark into other, more traditional vocations. Throughout those years,\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;though, Mark never stopped sculpting. He knew in his heart that it was the work\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;he was born to do. From the many challenges and experiences of his life came a\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;remarkably unique style of art.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Mark Hopkins constantly challenges himself to translate the richness of life and\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;nobility of the human soul into enduring sculptural form. In his words, “I\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;strive to express beyond the image, to catch spirit, to reveal deeper emotions,\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;and to share joy.” As he continues to rise to that challenge, his work is\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;attaining an honored place in the history of art.","brand":"sale - www.estatefreshaustin.com Estate Fresh Austin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46677791867096,"sku":"11038363059_1040","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/6284\/7960\/files\/mark-hopkins-bronze-eagle-with-flag-sculpture-8462500estate-fresh-austin-719258.png?v=1757961911","url":"https:\/\/estatefreshaustin.com\/zh-hant\/products\/estatefreshaustincom-2099","provider":"Estate Fresh Austin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
