Jone Hopper - Femme au chat

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on the streets within the emerging graffiti movement of the era. He tags his name on the street, on walls, and on trains.
Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he formed the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers.
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.
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 piece of Hip Hop, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he borrows from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, passing through Classical, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
