Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he learned his craft on the street through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective 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 the work should be showcased, not the figure. Virtually absent from social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except to a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, borrowing from all painting currents—from Modern to Contemporary, including the Classical—acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images."
