Quotes

Jonone paint on a Thalys to launch the line Amsterdam / Cologne

"When I arrived in Paris in 1987, people were a little disappointed (laughs) I came from New York, so they saw me as the representative of New York graffiti. Even if it's true, I am primarily Jonone and basta! What I did was not representative of what they could imagine, I was more free than technical, I was in the imagination. As I had the technique, I could leave behind and create, combine hundreds of information, graphics take shortcuts while leaving me with the flow. Today, I belong to the old school. I work in a comfortable, at ease with lettering or anything else. I am no longer obliged to prove anything: my past speaks for me. On the other hand, I do not want to spend my time on the claim. "

- JonOne, Nova Mag Interview for October 2004 has the opportunity of exposure to the Night and Day Speerstra gallery .

"I received no arts education. When I tagging trains in New York, I could not imagine that one day I would express myself on the canvas. What really got me was the tag to see others painted graffiti throughout the city. The school that I went was very strict. And so boring! I remember at the time, those on the street had freedom. I did not want what America offered me: a job, a nice suit and a nice house. I met A-One (Anthony Clark 1964-2001). He used to hang out with Jean-Michel Basquiat (Brooklyn, New York, December 22, 1960 to August 12, 1988). A-one was the link between the street and the art world. He traveled in Europe and returned with a lot of money, just through his art. I listened to accounts of his travels and my eyes gleamed with envy. At that time in New York, I like a lot today: I was hanging in front of my building. In these times, I either I did not go out of my neighborhood. Thanks to A-One, I started visiting exhibitions, to feed my vision of what is happening in this world. I started taking my work seriously, not to be regarded as vandalism, but simply as art. "
