Jone Hopper - Les oeufs dans le panier

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. At the end of the 1980s, he cut his teeth on 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 artists. We know little about him because the artist stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that the work 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 art movements, from Modern to Contemporary via Classical, he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images. - Mixed media: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
