Jone Hopper - Portrait de la comtesse

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
Towards the late 1980s, he learns his craft on the streets through an emerging movement of the time, graffiti.
He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains.
Recognized for his characters and aerosol signatures, he creates the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers.
We know little about him as the artist remains faithful to the graffiti spirit and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted, not the person.
Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners who know him in confidence.
He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, acting like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles, and thus creates new images.
