Jone Hopper - Femme à la cruche

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he cuts his teeth on the streets through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tags his name on streets, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and aerosol signatures, he co-founded the TBS collective (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him as the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, considering that it is the work that should be highlighted, not the person. Unseen on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, draws from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, samples from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary through Classical, he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images. - Mixed media: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
