AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
By the late 1980s, he was honing his skills on the streets through an emerging movement at the time, graffiti. He tags his name on walls and trains, recognized for his characters and 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 true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted rather than the person. Absent from social media, absent from gallery openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol, or even Bacon. He draws from all artistic movements, from Modern to Contemporary, including Classical, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images.

Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel, and acrylic on canvas.
With certificate of authenticity
