Galerie Anne Barrault presents the first solo exhibition in France of Los Angeles artist
Hugo Hopping. A Sugar Diet for Mystics is a series of drawings, videos and an installation involving notions of desire, resignation, and combat.
The work of Hugo Hopping is tied to traditions peculiar to the art scene in Los Angeles such as work by artists
Allan Sekula,
Sam Durant or
Raymond Pettibon who use language, popular culture, and the establishment of alternative production systems to highlight the social and political realities exacerbating the modern individual. Using sculpture, drawing, installation, video and performance, Hugo Hopping explores the tension produced by the introduction of new narratives within predetermined systems of thought.
Hugo Hopping was born in 1974 in Mexico City, he lives and works in Los Angeles and Copenhagen.
