Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he got his start on the streets through the graffiti movement that was emerging at the time. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop piece, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, pulling from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, including Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
