Jone Hopper - Baigneuse à Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he learned the ropes on the street through an emerging movement at the time: graffiti. He tags his name on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and prefers to remain anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted and not the person. Not present 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 piece of Hip Hop, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all pictorial currents, from Modern to Contemporary art while passing through Classical, he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images. - Mixed media: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
