Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. At the end of the 80s, he makes his "training" in the street through an emerging movement of the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he creates the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) 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 remain anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted and not the person. Non-existent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except to a few gallery owners who know him. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he samples from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
- Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas
- With certificate of authenticity
