Jone Hopper - Bain de mer

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he learned the ropes in the streets through the emerging graffiti movement of the time. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Renowned for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded 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 showcased and not the person. Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a genuine mystery except to a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all artistic currents—from Modern to Contemporary, passing through Classical; he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images. - Techniques mixtes : aérosol, pastel et acrylique sur toile - Avec certificat d'authenticité
