Jone Hopper - Le poème

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he learns the ropes on the streets through an emerging movement of the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he founded the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, considering that the work should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he samples from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, passing through Classical, he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
