Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he did his “apprenticeship” in the street through an emerging movement at the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted and not the figure. Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners who know him in confidence. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he draws from all painting movements, from Modern to Contemporary and including the Classical, acting like a sampler—sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
