All auctions / Contemporary Art / Jone Hopper - Femme à la lecture
- Unique edition 01/01, personally signed on the back of the artwork - Giclée on canvas mounted on a stretcher and hand-enhanced in the artist's studio - Hand-signed certificate of authenticity Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. Late in the 1980s, he took his “first steps” 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 founded the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except to a few gallery owners in the confidences. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, pulling from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, including Classical, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images.
