JonOne
He’s been in France so long that he refers to the speed of objects in kilometers. Anyway, this video is a nice insight into JonOne’s work.
Graffiti artist and painter John Andrew Perello, aka JonOne, grew up in New York and as a teenager was involved in the explosive graffiti scene of the 80s, spraying walls and ‘bombing’ trains. He moved to Paris in 1987, linking into the thriving arts and graffiti scene, and has remained there ever since. We caught up with him in Paris – the resulting documentary is a wonderful insight into a very charismatic person and the ever-changing struggle he encounters as an artist. Co-directed and produced with Oliver and Charlie Clark under our SoWhat collective.
