Jone Hopper - La violoncelliste

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 80s, he undergoes his 'apprenticeships' 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 writers. We know little about him as the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted and not the personality. Non-existent on social networks, 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 on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, pulling from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary and through Classic, he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
