Jone Hopper - Baigneuse en bord de mer

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he learns his craft on the street through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Recognized 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 remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the work should be showcased and not the person.
Not present on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the know. 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 art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical, acting as a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
