Jone Hopper - Baigneuse à Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he learns his craft on the street through an emerging movement at the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he creates the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted and 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 hip-hop track, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he draws from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary through Classical, he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images. - Mixed media: aerosol (spray paint), pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
