Jone Hopper - Muse allongée au balcon

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he takes his first steps 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 dedicated 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 foregrounded, not the person. Absent from social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallery owners in the confidences. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon, he borrows from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary through Classical, acting like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images. - Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel and acrylic on canvas - With certificate of authenticity
