Jone Hopper - Jeunes femmes à la toilette

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he did his 'apprenticeships' in the street 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 created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. 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 foregrounded and not the personality. Nonexistent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners who know him in confidence. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, pulling from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary, including Classical; he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
