Jone Hopper - La Jongleuse

- Unique edition 01/01, hand-signed on the back of the artwork - Giclée on canvas mounted on a frame and hand-enhanced in the artist's studio - Hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he learned the ropes on the streets through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on 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, as the artist remains faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to stay anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted, not the person. Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except to a few gallerists in the know. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, drawing on Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol, or even Bacon, sampling from all artistic movements, from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical; he acts like a sampler... he samples, cuts, assembles, and thus creates new images.
