Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
At the end of the 1980s, he did his “apprenticeship” 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 created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other engaged graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the artwork should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent 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, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all artistic currents, from Modern to Contemporary while crossing Classical, he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
- Mixed media: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas
