Description from the seller

- Shipped rolled in a tube, without a frame!!
- Large format 107 x 76 cm (Approximately 97 x 66 cm when the canvas is mounted on a frame by the buyer's care)
- Unique artwork with certificate of authenticity
- Original work on linen canvas and without a frame
- Mixed media

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on the streets through graffiti, an emerging movement of that era. He tags his name on walls and trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing the artwork should be highlighted, not the person. Absent from social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except to a few gallery owners in the confidence. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop piece, acting as a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images.

- Mixed media: aerosol, oil pastel and acrylic on canvas
- With certificate of authenticity
