AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he makes his 'training' on the street through an emerging movement at the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, 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 as the artist stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted 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 hip-hop track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, pulling from all painting movements, from Modern to Contemporary while passing through Classical; he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.

- Mixed techniques: spray paint, pastel and acrylic on canvas
- With certificate of authenticity
