Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
At the end of the 80s, he made his "classes" in the street through an emerging movement at that time, graffiti. He tags his name in the street, on the walls and on the 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 remain anonymous, considering that it is the work that must be put forward and not the character. Non-existent on social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except for a few gallerists in the know. He compares his painting to a piece of Hip Hop, he acts like a sampler... samples, cuts, assembles and thus creates new images.
