Jone Hopper - Le cavalier à la colombe

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he did his “apprenticeship” on the street through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tags his name 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 committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be showcased, 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 track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, tapping into all artistic currents, from Modern to Contemporary through Classical; he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
