Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
Towards the end of the 1980s, he learns the ropes on the street through an emerging movement at that time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he creates the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wants to remain anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted and not the personality. 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 piece of Hip Hop, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary and including Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
- Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas
- With certificate of authenticity
