Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on the street through an emerging movement of the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he created the TBS collective (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and desires to remain anonymous, believing that it is the artwork 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 through Classical, he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
