All auctions / Contemporary Art / Jone Hopper - Le minotaure à la balle rouge
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. At the end of the 1980s, he “takes his first steps” on the street through an emerging movement of the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Known 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, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent on social networks, 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, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all painting movements, from Modern to Contemporary while passing through the Classical; he acts like a sampler—samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images. - Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
