More about JonOne
:
Be it for his talent as a graffiti artist or an
abstract painter, JonOne is undeniably praised for his work and paintings
worldwide. The colors, overflowing with communicative energy, give the
impression of a modern stained glass painting.
JonOne started doing graffiti on the walls and trains in the poor Harlem
neighborhoods where he grew up. "The subway's a museum that goes
back and forth through town". He's one of the first New-York graffiti
artists in Paris, and you can feel the American as well as the European
influence on his work ; however he manages to find his own style, working
his name as calligraphy. "Each one of my paintings is an abstract
improvisation" he says of his work. He's an artist, who never slows
down, as he says himself, he needs the artistic creation in order to keep
on going.
