AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 80s, he cut his teeth on the street through the emerging graffiti movement of the time. He tags his name on the street, 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 engaged 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 showcased and not the character.
Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except for a few gallery owners in the know.
He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he borrows from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary to Classic, acting like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
- Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas
- With certificate of authenticity
