Jone Hopper - Muse au repos

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
Towards the late 80s, he cuts his teeth on the streets through an emerging movement at that time, graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded 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, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent on social networks, 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 hip-hop track, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary while passing through the Classic; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
