Jone Hopper - La conversation

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
By the late 1980s, he started his “learning” 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 created 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 the work should be highlighted and not the person. Absent from social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except for a few gallery owners in the confidences. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all art currents, from Modern to Contemporary and including Classical, he acts like a sampler… samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
