“From street artist to painter”

John Andrew Perello or JonOne is an American graffiti artist and a painter. Previously called Jon156 he has now become JonOne.

JonOne started out as a street artist without realizing that one day he would end up speaking on canvas.At the time, the codes were strict and JonOne did not hesitate to upset these codes thanks to his art, thanks to his graffiti.

He is a political artist but also a generous artist who cares about the damned of the earth.

Seeking to flee the conformism of the company, he took refuge in his art, but it is to count on the many other rules in the medium of the graffiti… It was thus a question of replacing one conformism by another. What is not possible for the artist, he moves away from the fundamentals of graffiti and gives free rein to his freestyles and tends to be marginalized.

Upon his arrival in Paris, JonOne nourishes his artistic culture with exhibitions and museums. He then moved to the Ephemeral Hospital (artist squat) in which he was spotted by Agnes b. (internationally known stylist) who says "having perceived the emerging work of a real painter". As a result, the prices of his paintings soared and began to make his name in the world of street art, he defined himself as an abstract expressionist graffiti painter.

This is the work of an artist passionate about his work.Indeed, in his early days he used the bomb, essential tools of graffiti, but today JonOne abandoned the bomb in favor of acrylic and oil.
