Jone Hopper - Muse allongée

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
At the end of the 1980s, he gets his start on the streets through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he forms 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 graffiti spirit and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted and not the person.
Non-existent 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 hip hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all artistic currents, from Modern to Contemporary while passing through Classical; he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
