AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he did his 'apprenticeship' in the streets 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 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 stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, considering that the artwork should be highlighted and not the person. Absent from social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except for a few gallery owners who know the truth. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, drawing inspiration from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, tapping into all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary, including Classical; he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
