Jone Hopper - Muse assoupie

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on the streets through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tagged his name on walls and trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. Little is known about him, as the artist remains true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the work—not the person—should take center stage. Absent from social media and gallery openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery, except to a handful of gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol, and even Bacon. He dips into every pictorial movement, from Modern to Contemporary art, as well as Classical art, working like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images. - Mixed media: aerosol, pastel, and acrylic on canvas - Certificate of authenticity included
