V. Hopper - MUSE À LA PERLE

Jone Hopper, born in 1977, is a French artist.
In the late 80s he carried out his 'training' on the street, within the emerging graffiti movement of that time. He tags his name on walls and trains. Known for his characters and signatures with spray paint, he founded the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other involved graffiti artists. We know little about him, because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that the work should be central and not the person. He is not active on social media, not present at exhibitions, an invisible artist, and remains a mystery, except to a few gallery owners who know him in confidence. He compares his paintings to a piece of Hip Hop, draws inspiration from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, and draws from all currents of painting, from Modern to Contemporary, including Classical. He works like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
