EINSAMKEIT
Die Einsamkeit ist wie ein Regen.
Sie steigt vom Meer den Abenden entgegen;
von Ebenen, die fern sind und entlegen,
geht sie zum Himmel, der sie immer hat.
Und erst vom Himmel faellt sie auf die Stadt.
Regnet hernieder in den Zwitterstunden,
wenn sich nach Morgen wenden alle Gassen
und wenn die Leiber, welche nichts gefunden,
enttaeuscht und traurig von einander lassen,
und wenn die Menschen, die einander hassen,
in einem Bett zusammen schlafen muessen:
dann geht die Einsamkeit mit den Fluessen
고독은 비와 같다
고독은 바다에서 저녁을 향해 오른다.
고독은 아득히 외딴 평원에서
언제나 고독을 품고 있는 하늘로 향한다.
그러나 비로소 하늘에서 도시 위로 떨어져 내린다.
동틀 녘에 고독은 비가 되어 내린다.
모든 골목들이 아침을 향할 때,
아무 것도 찾지 못한 몸뚱어리들이
실망과 슬픔에 서로를 놓아줄 때,
서로 미워하는 사람들이
한 침대에서 자야 할 때,
고독은 강물과 함께 흐른다.

Erica Hopper was born in Kansas City, Missouri, studied graphic and industrial design at San Diego State University, and continued her art education at the University of The Americas in Puebla, Mexico. During the 70's and 80's she was a successful illustrator with many published works in national periodicals. Today Hopper concentrates on oil media and textile design. It is clear one influences the other by the rhythm and texture found in her paintings.
Hopper's paintings are compelling and abstractly interpretive. She creates delicately modulated surfaces with subtle imagery. Her color use is strong, yet positioned to create a quiet contemplation and colorful vivaciousness. While she develops figurative images with color washes and markings that are clearly defined, the edges leave an openness for imaginative completion. "I illustrate my media into fragments of shape symbolizing ideas of landscape figurative and nature's essentials", says the artist.
Hopper's extensive travels have built her admiration and respect for ethnic origin and wildlife that have become a constant in her compositions. This consciousness along with imagination all come together on canvas to tell a story.
Hopper says her paintings are "metaphorical interpretations of nature and the stuff of dreams in which the viewer can envision the complete scene as the imagination takes over."
Erica Hopper's work is in both private and corporate collections throughout the United States.
