Jone Hopper - Eze village, la femme à l'éventail

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he earns his stripes on the street through an emerging movement at that time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he founded 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 wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted and not the person. Nonexistent on social networks, absent from openings, faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop piece, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all art currents, from Modern to Contemporary while passing by 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
