Jone Hopper - Femme à la cruche

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 tagged his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist remains true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that the work, not the artist, should be in the spotlight. Absent from social media and gallery openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery, except to a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, drawing inspiration from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol and even Bacon. He dips into every pictorial movement, from Modern to Contemporary and Classical art, working like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images.
