AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he learned the ropes on the streets through an emerging movement at the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he creates 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 artwork that should be highlighted, not the person.
Inactive on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery dealers who know the inside story.
He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he draws on all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary through Classic, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images.
