AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he cuts his teeth on the street through an emerging movement at the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he created the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective with Skepa and a few other dedicated graffiti writers.
We know little about him because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted, 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 from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, sampling from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary as well as Classical, acting like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.

- Techniques mixtes : aérosol, pastel et acrylique sur toile
- Avec certificat d'authenticité
