Jone Hopper - Belle se coiffant

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. Towards the end of the 1980s, he did his 'apprenticeship' on the street through the emerging movement of graffiti at the time. He tags his name on street walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and his 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 remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the artwork should be featured and not the person. Nonexistent on social media, 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, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, tapping into all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary 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
