Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 80s, he makes his “steps” in the street through an emerging movement at the time, graffiti. He tags his name in 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, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted and not the person. Non-existent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except to a few gallery owners in 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, including Classical; he acts like a sampler… sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
