Interview by Mary Ann Wakeley

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“For me, painting is not so much the preoccupation with formal aesthetic criteria, but rather the visualization and development of the hidden possibilities. When I paint, I change into another person, varying or adding colors, ecstatically increasing and then destroying, until I reach a point that surprises. I am on the way, maybe for very long and perhaps in vain. But you’ll forgive the platitude `the journey is the reward´.”
Major Wilco
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Willi Hoppe erforscht die physischen und psychischen Grundbedingungen der Existenz an sich und seiner eigenen im Besonderen mit den Mitteln der Kunst. Zugrunde liegt die "Sehnsucht nach der Leichtigkeit und Verfügbarkeit des Körpers und gleichzeitig die Angst, daß er ausser Kontrolle gerät".

Major Wilco- Willi is one artist who I am so very much in awe of. His works of art are top of the line and go beyond conventional thinking. He is not afraid to express what it is he must explore. Such freedom and honesty in art is what i personally feel is important in a world of where so much art becomes more and more fluff....and so dead in spirit. A mix of emotions, artistic talents and skills and the primal exist in his work. I dare you all to come take part of his journey and view his works! Willi- may you and your art always remain alive !

Willi Hoppe's art is intense and often times mixed with brutal sexuality. As I take in each piece, I'm always led to the most primal state of emotions. Journey through this gallery and I promise you will not be disappointed for within lies the work of a man not afraid to express the brutality and sexuality of our human nature .... and if you look very closely, you will catch glimpses of love and hope along the way. My Hoppe is a true master of his work!

Looking your works of art is like to take a journey in wonderland.
