Description from the seller

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.

In the late 80s, he learned the craft on the streets through an emerging movement at the time: graffiti. He tags his name on walls and on trains with spray paint. 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 since the artist stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted rather than 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 track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, passing by Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.

- Mixed media: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas
