Jone Hopper - La joueuse de flûte

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. Towards the end of the 1980s, he got his start on the streets through an emerging movement of the time, graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Recognized for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he created the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. 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 and not the person. Nonexistent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the know. He compares his painting to a Hip Hop piece, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, pulling from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, passing through Classical; he acts like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling and thus creating new images. - Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
