Jone Hopper - Muse allongée au balcon

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. At the end of the 1980s, he cuts his teeth on the street through an emerging movement of that era, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he creates the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other graffiti artists involved. We know little about him because the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted rather than the person. Absent from social networks, 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 piece, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, pulling from all painting movements, from Modern to Contemporary while passing through Classical, he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images. - Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
