Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on 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 stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted, not the figure. Non-existent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few galleries in confidence. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop piece, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary, including Classical, he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
