AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he makes his 'apprenticeship' on the streets 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 aerosol signatures, he founded the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him as 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 personality. 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, taking from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary through Classical; he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
- Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas
- With certificate of authenticity
