All auctions / Contemporary Art / Jone Hopper - La Byzantine
- Unique edition 01/01, a single copy hand-signed 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. In the late 80s, he earned his stripes on the street through an emerging movement at the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls, and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS collective (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 remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted, not the person. Nonexistent 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, tapping into all painting movements—from Modern to Contemporary, including the Classical. He acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images.
