Jone Hopper - Muse au vase

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he learned the craft on the streets through an emerging movement at that time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS collective (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 it is the artwork that should be foregrounded and not the personality. Absent from social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners who know him in confidence. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop piece, drawing inspiration from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, sampling from all pictorial currents, from Modern to Contemporary art and including the Classic; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
