All auctions / Contemporary Art / Jone Hopper - La Comédie
- Unique edition 01/01, hand-signed on the back of the artwork - Giclée on canvas stretched over a frame and hand-finished at the artist's studio - Hand-signed certificate of authenticity Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he cut his teeth on the streets through the emerging graffiti movement of the time. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he co-founded the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti writers. We know little about him because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted, not the person. Non-existent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except to 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; he borrows from all painting currents, from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images."
