Jone Hopper - Nu à la colombe

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.

In the late 1980s, he learned the ropes on the street through an emerging movement at that time: graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers.

We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, considering that it is the work that must be showcased and not the person.

Non-existent on social media, 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, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, tapping into all pictorial currents, from Modern to Contemporary, including Classical; he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
