Jone Hopper - Jeune couple

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
Towards the end of the 1980s, he cut his teeth on the street through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tags his name on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he formed 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 stay anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted, not the person. Nonexistent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners who keep his confidence. He compares his painting to a hip-hop piece, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical; he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
