Jone Hopper - Le pêcheur

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
At the end of the 1980s, he learned the ropes on the streets through an emerging movement of 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 remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay 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 who know him confidensially. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol, or even Bacon; he borrows from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary while passing through Classical, acting like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
