Jone Hopper - Jeune fille au vase ancien

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