Jonone (1963) - Time is now

JonOne – Time is now – 2026 Original screenprint by JonOne, realized in 2 color passes with ink enriched with real silver powder, on Keaykolour paper 250 g. Format 50 × 70 cm. Limited edition of only 60 copies, numbered and hand-signed by the artist. With Time is Now, JonOne offers a particularly intense graphic composition, built around a powerful contrast between the deep black background and the silver tracings. His instinctive writing almost entirely invades the surface, blending rapid gestures, overlays and drips into a raw yet perfectly controlled whole. The peculiarity of this edition lies in the use of ink enriched with real silver powder. It gives the tracings a brightness and metallic reflections that change with the light and give the work a particularly strong presence. Originating from the New York graffiti scene, JonOne developed a pictorial language immediately identifiable, in which the letter and signature progressively become abstraction. Time is Now fully illustrates this approach, with a dense and spontaneous composition that preserves all the energy of graffiti. With its particularly limited edition of 60 copies, its 50 × 70 cm format, and the use of real silver powder, this screenprint constitutes a very beautiful edition of JonOne, as spectacular as it is representative of his artistic universe. Artwork in perfect condition, never framed, kept flat. We ensure meticulous packaging, international tracking, insurance, and express shipping for all our deliveries. The numbering may differ from the photos. Biography: JonOne (French-American, born 1963 in New York), famous for his graffiti-influenced works, was born in Harlem, where the art of colorful and elaborate graffiti evolves. He began producing, with a childhood friend, graffiti of his name from the age of 17. In 1984, he founded the Graffiti 156 All Starz collective to bring together the passion of graffiti writers. After moving to Paris in 1987, he began working as a painter on canvas in a studio. He quickly made a name for himself in Parisian artistic circles with his canvas works, was exhibited in 1990 at Gallery 45 in Berlin and participated in the Graffiti Paris exhibition, where his work is shown permanently. His works have been among the most important auctioned in the graffiti world.
