Jone Hopper - Portrait jeune homme

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on the streets through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls, and on trains. Known for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective with Skepa and a few other engaged graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted, not the personality. 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 piece of Hip Hop, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol, or even Bacon; he taps into all pictorial currents, from Modern to Contemporary through Classical, acting like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
