Jone Hopper - Belle au grand chapeau

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he learned his trade on the streets through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tagged his name on walls and trains. Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist remains true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that the work—not the person—should be in the spotlight. Absent from social media and exhibition openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery, except to a few in-the-know gallery owners. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop track, drawing inspiration from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol, and even Bacon. He dips into every artistic movement, from Modern to Contemporary and Classical art, and works like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thereby creating new images. - Mixed media: aerosol, pastel, and acrylic on canvas - Certificate of authenticity included
