Beschreibung:
Henry Chalfant, geboren 1940 in Pennsylvania, studierte Griechisch als Hauptfach an der Stanford University. Später ging er einer Karriere als Bildhauer nach und stellte seine Arbeiten in New York und Europa aus. Danach wendete er sich der Foto- und Filmdokumentation zu, um die Hip Hop Kultur und die Graffiti Kunst stärker zu beleuchten.
Tracing JonOne's journey from New York to Paris and from spray can to the paintbrush. Born in Harlem in the early 60s, his early career was rooted in the rule-bound hierarchy of tagging and graffiti culture. With a move to Paris in 1987, JonOne's artistic constrictions were quickly cast aside. The energy of his paintings on canvas was undeniable and almost immediately found a rapt audience in Europe. By the 1990s he was fully engaged by studio practice and gallery shows. His colourful and frenetic work continues to make waves, recently with gallery shows in New York and Art Basel, Miami.
