Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he did his 'apprenticeship' 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 graffiters. We know little about him as the artist stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, considering that the work should be highlighted and not the person. Absent from social media, 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 from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, tapping into all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, passing by Classical; he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
- Techniques mixtes: aérosol, pastel et acrylique sur toile
- Avec certificat d'authenticité
