Jone Hopper - Le cavalier (étude)

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on the street through the emerging graffiti movement of the time. He tags his name on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and 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 stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that the work itself should be highlighted and not the personality. Non-existent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except to a few gallery owners in confidence. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, pulling from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical; he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles, and thus creates new images.
