Mark HopkinsBronze Sculpture, “Upstream” Limited Edition, Signed 97/550

“Followingthe current from upstream, he drifts gently down the river in his canoe.Solitude and peace are the enticement- a trout would be a happy bonus!”

Thisis the third of three Mark Hopkins Sculptures we are putting up forsale. Like the others, “Upstream” isunlike anything you will ever own. It isan exquisite portrayal of why people love fishing. I wonder if the angler here was standing whilehe did his cast and then sat once he had a good strike?

Anotherreviewer writes: “This evocative \"Upstream\" Fisherman in Canoe BronzeSculpture by Mark Hopkins exemplifies the renowned artist\'s innovative use ofnegative space to give certain elements of his works the appearance of defyinggravity. Here, a lone outdoorsman in a canoe attempts to wrestle his quarryfrom beneath a sunken tree, captured for eternity in fine bronze and uniquelyexpressive style. Only 550 pieces of this gorgeous design from the Wild WatersCollection will be produced, making it a very special gift for a dedicatedangler or outdoor enthusiast.”

Please read a remarkable artist’s biography(fromthe Mark Hopkins Gallery Website):

Mark Hopkins is considered one ofthe premier sculptors in the United States today. From tabletop sculpture tomonuments, his work is displayed in homes, offices, and public settings aroundthe world.

Mark Hopkins’ work is in every way,a reflection of its creator. It reveals Mark’s total fascination with nearlyevery conceivable aspect of life: from history, children, sports, music andreligion to wildlife of the land, sea and air. With a style so flowing andalive it has been called “bronze in motion,” the work is as passionate andexpressive as the artist himself.

For as long as he can remember, Markhas been captivated by form and design. From the time he was young boy, withthe encouragement of family and teachers, he worked to develop his innatetalent, and explore the various techniques and mediums of sculpture.

In addition to his skill as anartist, Mark made himself a technical expert in the art of “lost wax” bronzecasting. At the Mark Hopkins Sculpture foundry, Mark monitors the castingprocess, insuring that the integrity of his work is maintained throughout itscreation in bronze. With the help of many talented craftsmen, Mark endeavors toestablish an enduring legacy of high-quality bronze sculpture.

It has taken half a lifetime forMark to attain his preeminent status in the world of art. For many years, thenecessity of providing for his large family took Mark into other, moretraditional vocations. Throughout those years, though, Mark never stoppedsculpting. He knew in his heart that it was the work he was born to do. Fromthe many challenges and experiences of his life came a remarkably unique styleof art.

Mark Hopkins constantly challengeshimself to translate the richness of life and nobility of the human soul intoenduring sculptural form. In his words, “I strive to express beyond the image,to catch spirit, to reveal deeper emotions, and to share joy.” As he continuesto rise to that challenge, his work is attaining an honored place in thehistory of art.
