Jone Hopper - Jongleuse aux trois balles

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
At the end of the 1980s, he "learned the ropes" on the street through an emerging movement of that era: graffiti. He tags his name on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded 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 the work should be highlighted, not the person. Absent from social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the confidences. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he draws from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary through Classical, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
