Jone Hopper - Petit buste au chapeau

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he learned the ropes on the street through the emerging graffiti movement of that era. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Known 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 remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, considering that it is the work that should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent on social media, 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 piece of Hip Hop, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, rummaging through all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary through Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
