AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- Shipped rolled in a tube, without a frame!!
- Large format 107 x 75 cm (Approximately 97 x 65 cm when the canvas is mounted on a frame by the buyer)
- Unique artwork with certificate of authenticity
- Original artwork on linen canvas and unframed
- Mixed media

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on the street through the emerging graffiti movement of the time. He tags his name on streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted and not the person.
Nonexistent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except for a few gallerists in the know. He compares his painting to a hip hop piece; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles, and thus creates new images.

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