Jone Hopper - Vierge à l'enfant

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he learned his craft on the street through an emerging movement at the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Recognized 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 stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted and not the character. Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except to a few gallery owners in the confidences. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all pictorial currents, from Modern to Contemporary, passing through Classical; he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
