All auctions / Contemporary Art / Jone Hopper - Muse au vase dans son salon
- Unique edition 01/01, a hand-signed print on the back of the artwork - Giclée on canvas mounted on a frame and hand-enhanced in the artist's studio - Certificate of authenticity hand-signed Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. Late in the 1980s, he took his first steps on the streets within an emergent movement of the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Renowned for his characters and his 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 stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing the work should be foregrounded rather than the person. Absent from social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except to 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 artistic movements, from Modern art to Contemporary, including Classical; he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
