Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he did his "apprenticeship" on the streets 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 his aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other engaged 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 work that should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent on social networks, 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 piece, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all painting movements, from Modern to Contemporary, passing through the Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
