Quinn Hopkins

Does a Bear Shit in the Woods?

Part of the Bear Market Series.

“Quinn Hopkins' artwork, Does a Bear Shit in the Woods, masterfully combines humor and environmental concern, depicting black bears at a landfill amidst a breathtaking natural landscape. Utilizing the Woodland style's distinct spirit lines, Hopkins portrays the bears as spiritual creatures, skillfully contrasting their presence with the littered landscape and lush pine trees. This evocative northern scene invites viewers to reminisce about their own wildlife encounters, while simultaneously raising awareness about humanity's environmental impact. Through this personal and relevant piece, Hopkins crafts an engaging narrative that captures the audience's attention with its casual sophistication and wit.”
