Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he makes his “apprenticeship” 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 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 remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and desires to stay anonymous, considering that it is the artwork that should be highlighted and not the figure. Non-existent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except to a few galleries who know him in confidence. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all painting movements, from Modern to Contemporary while also touching on Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
