AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
At the end of the 1980s, he began his 'apprenticeships' 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 remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted, not the person. Non-existent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallerists in the know.
He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all art currents, from Modern to Contemporary while passing through Classical; he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
