His use of spray paint and drips, combined with traditional brushstrokes, adds a sense of spontaneity and rawness to his work.
JonOne’s influences come from his early experiences in the world of hip-hop and graffiti culture, as well as from the great painters of the abstract expressionist movement, such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. He has said that he sees his work as a continuation of the tradition of these artists, bringing a new perspective and style to the genre.
Over the years, JonOne has gained international recognition for his work, exhibiting in galleries and museums around the world, and collaborating with brands such as Nike and Hennessy.
