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 streets 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 his aerosol signatures, he creates the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers.
We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that the work should be showcased and 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 piece of Hip Hop, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol, or even Bacon, drawing from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary, passing through Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
- Mixed media: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas
