All auctions / Contemporary Art / Jone Hopper - Les femmes et l'eau
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he learned the ropes of 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 creates the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) 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 remain anonymous, believing that it is the work that should be highlighted, not the person. Non-existent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the confidence. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol, or even Bacon, pulling from all pictorial currents—from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical—acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images. - Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel, and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
