Hotel Fox


 105. Heaven  

Daydreams. Hoppek hopes his guests will find his rooms crazy but he is honest enough to say that he designed them principally for himself rather than anyone else: “Everything I do is for myself, I try to do what I like. I am an egoist and get paid for it.”
Hoppek’s heaven is an endless bed of candyfloss clouds, comforting companions, tiny creatures cradled in soft whiteness beyond the eye of the storm and an atmosphere of deep and pervading melancholy.


Boris Hoppek – Germany: The spectrum of the German urban artist Boris Hoppek’s work is as intelligent as it is breathtaking. He is constantly seeking new forms of expression in public spaces, galleries and magazines and his media ranges from writing to chalk drawings, cardboard box sculptures to photography and an ever-growing, wickedly funny soft toy character family called “Bimbos”. He describes his background as being one of “Germany, technical drawing, hippy shit, graffiti and painting”.
