Jone Hopper - Trois femmes

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he did his 'training' on the street through an emerging movement at the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he creates 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 it is the artwork that should be showcased and not the character. Non-existent on 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 to Contemporary through Classical; he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts up, assembles and thus creates new images. - Mixed media: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity - Canvas mounted on a wooden stretcher frame without a traditional frame
