AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
At the end of the 1980s, he learned the ropes on the street through an emerging movement of 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 committed graffiti artists. We know little about him as the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted, not the character. Absent from social networks, missing 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 from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he draws from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
