Jone Hopper - La joueuse de flûte

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
Towards the end of the 1980s, he cut his teeth on the street through the emerging graffiti movement of the time. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other dedicated graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted rather than the person. Non-existent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallerists in the confidences. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary, via Classic; he acts like a sampler… samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
