AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he learns the ropes on the street through an emerging movement at the 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 because the artist stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted and not the person.
Non-existent 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 hip-hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary and passing through Classical; he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
