Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French street artist. In the late 1980s, he took his 'first steps' in 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 his aerosol signatures, he founded the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers. We know little about him, as the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent on social media, 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 piece of Hip Hop; he acts as a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles, and thus creates new images.
