Jone Hopper - Rendez-vous à Paris

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he honed his craft on the streets through an emerging movement of that era: graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and prefers to remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted, not the person. Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallerists in the know. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he draws from all painting movements, from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical, acting like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images. - Mixed media: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
