AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he learns his craft on the streets through the emerging graffiti movement of that era. He tags his name on streets, walls, and trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other engaged graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist stays true to the graffiti spirit and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted, not the character. Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except for a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol, or even Bacon; he quotes from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, passing through the Classical, acting as a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images.
