Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he learned the ropes on the street through the graffiti movement that was emerging at the time. He tags his name on streets, walls, and trains. Renowned for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he founded 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 highlighted rather than the person. Non-existent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for 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 painting movements—from Modern to Contemporary, including Classical—and he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images.
