Jone Hopper - Grande dame au chapeau

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.

In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on the street through an emerging movement at the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers. We know little about him as the artist stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted and not the individual.

Nonexistent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery insiders who know him. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he draws from all pictorial currents, from Modern to Contemporary, passing through Classical, and acts as a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
