AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
At the end of the 1980s, he cut his teeth on the streets through the emerging graffiti movement of that era. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on 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 that the work should be highlighted, not the person.
Absent from social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a genuine mystery except for a few gallery owners who know him in confidence. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he samples from all painting movements, from Modern to Contemporary and even Classic, acting like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
