Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he paid his dues on the street through an emerging movement at the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, walls, and trains. Known for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he created 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 wishes to stay anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted and not the individual. Absent from social networks, missing from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for 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 while also touching Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
