Jone Hopper - Le minotaure

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he learned the ropes in 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 founded 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 artwork 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 gallerists in the confidence. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, passing through Classical; he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
