Jone Hopper - Jeune guitariste

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 80s, he learns his craft on the streets through an emerging movement at that time, graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he creates the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, considering that it is the work that should be highlighted and not the character. Absent from social networks, 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, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he borrows from all painting movements, from Modern to Contemporary through Classic, 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
