Description from the seller
- Shipped rolled in a tube, without a frame

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he honed his skills on the street through an emerging movement at the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the work should be foregrounded and not the person. Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except to a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track; he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles, and thus creates new images.
- Mixed media: aerosol, oil pastel and acrylic on canvas
- With certificate of authenticity
