Jone Hopper - Petit buste au chapeau

- Unique edition 01/01, one copy signed by hand on the back of the artwork - Giclée on canvas mounted on a stretcher 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 1980s, he cut his teeth on the street through an emerging movement of the time, graffiti. He tags his name on streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him as the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that the work should be highlighted and not the personality. Absent from social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallerists in the know. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, borrowing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, drawing from all painting currents, from Modern art to Contemporary, passing through Classical; he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
