Quinn Hopkins [mixed, non-status Anishinaabe] is a interdisciplinary artist working across painting, digital print, interactive projection and augmented reality. He paints from the Woodland School lineage of Norval Morrisseau, Daphne Odjig and Arthur Shilling, and extends its formal language into new media through Hyper Woodland, a framework positioning Anishinaabe futurism as a continuation of that tradition rather than a break from it.
Quinn Hopkins (Mixed Ojibwe, non-status) is a Toronto-based interdisciplinary artist blending urban Indigenous experiences with digital futurism. Influenced by Indigenous futurists like Cannupa Hanska Luger, Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun and Skawennati, Hopkins’s immersive installations and digital artworks explore ancestral storytelling, technological innovation and cultural resurgence.
His solo exhibition Hyper Woodland opened at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery in 2026. Sacred Tags, an interactive projection work, was presented at Nuit Blanche Toronto in 2025 and at MUTEK Montréal's Village Numérique in 2026. In 2024 he unveiled "Stellar Narratives: An Urban Indigenous Odyssey," an augmented reality mural commissioned through Public Art at Evergreen Brick Works, for which Hopkins received the Emerging Digital Artists Award in the Extended Reality category. In 2026 he completed Biidaaban with Will Morin for the Arthur B. McDonald Institute for Astroparticle Physics Research at Queen's University. He holds a BFA in drawing and painting from OCAD University.
