Los Angeles, CA (October 16, 2023) – Over the weekend, ACCA (Fine Arts Company, Beverly Hills) opened its highly-anticipated artist reception. ACCA and Scotch Hopkins unveiled an exhibit with never before seen works. The exhibit includes unique mixed media artworks, as well as an immersive art experience in a black light room and special gift shop items. The exhibition is being held at the ACCA Gallery in Beverly Hills.

Scotch Hopkins is a man of many hands and of many appearances. For one line of work he must reinvent himself every day. For another, he must be ready to crisis-solve at every moment. For yet another he must create and re-create a visual language that changes all of a sudden, like some fast-moving inner city patois. Well, maybe it is.  Hopkins’ visual art evinces a sense of formal and symbolic complexity - one that in its expansive and indulgent color and familiar themes eases its way reassuringly into your consciousness. The stories he tells and the characters he conjures are recognizable from contemporary life, indeed from our shared imagination; and from that adolescent street-tagger ethos comes a comfort with crudity, or at least with the direct, unsophisticated gruffness that demarcates today’s cultural loci. By turning us away from the imposing existential inquiries they hint at, and toward a fresher, sunnier gestalt, Hopkins reassures us of the world’s goodness even as he keeps the world’s failures top of mind. The struggle is not between good an evil, but between cynicism and bravery.
