"Sometimes" by Eva Clarberg
In her solo exhibition Eva Clarberg returns to the Hop with her latest collection of new paintings.
Sometimes in everyday life you look out of the window: that is my inspiration. Sunsets, sunrises, people walking by: it’s all there to be seen. Nature’s wonders, the sea and the music still remain my true influences as well as the work of artists like Miro, Pollock and othe abstract painters. It is a constant challenge and endeavour. This is just a beginning.

"Body" by Tilney Hardiment
After participation in a very successful group show in 2011, Tilney Hardiment returns staging her first solo show at the Hop. Her work explores the body by employing the physical and transforming it to other levels of suggestion, and focuses on tension between the subject matter and the physicality of the materials.
