Jone Hopper - Femme aux longs cheveux

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he cuts his teeth 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 creates the collective TBS (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 desires to stay anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that 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 confidence. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he draws from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary while passing through the Classical, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images. - Mixed media: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
