AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. At the end of the 1980s, he learned his craft on the streets through an emerging movement of the time—graffiti. He tags his name on streets, walls, and trains. Known for his characters and his 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 remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that 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 gallerists in the know. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he borrows from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, passing through Classical, acting like a sampler—sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.

- Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas
- With certificate of authenticity
