Jone Hopper - Belle au beau chapeau

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on the streets through the emerging movement of graffiti at that time. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains.
Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective 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 wishes to remain anonymous, considering that it is the work that should be highlighted and not the person.
Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except for a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he plucks from all painting movements, from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical, acting like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
