Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 80s, he earned his stripes on the street through an emerging movement at the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the street, 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 because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted and not the person. Non-existent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the confidence. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop piece, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all painting currents, from Modern Art to Contemporary, through Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
- Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas
- With certificate of authenticity
