The artwork

JonOne – Wasted and Renewed, 2023

Made in 2023, Wasted and Renewed is a unique work on paper by French-American artist JonOne, a leading figure in the contemporary art scene with roots in the New York graffiti movement of the 1980s. Born and raised in Harlem, JonOne has been able to transform the urban language of writing into an abstract, gestural art form, taking his practice to an international scale.

In this 76x80 cm work, the artist employs gouache, ink and spray paint to bring to life a layered and vibrant visual composition. The multiple colors chase each other in a fast-paced rhythm, generating a web of marks, spots and gestures that convey energy and freedom. The surface of the paper becomes the scene of a chromatic explosion where there is no precise compositional center: each area of the sheet is traversed by the same intensity, creating a dynamic tension that seems to extend beyond the edges of the work.

Despite its apparent spontaneity, Wasted and Renewed reveals a refined formal construction, matured through years of experimentation. The absence of figuration gives way to a pure visual experience, where each trace tells of the urban identity and creative impulse that have always characterized JonOne's work.

JONONE

John Andrew Perello, known as JonOne, was born in 1963 in New York to parents of Dominican descent. He grew up in the vibrant Harlem neighbourhood, where, at the age of 17, he began to express his creativity through graffiti, signing himself with the tag ‘Jon156’.

In 1984, he founded the ‘156 All Starz’ crew, becoming a prominent figure in the New York graffiti scene.

In 1987, JonOne decided to move to Paris, a city that would become his new home and the centre of his international artistic career.

Evolution of Style: From Street to Canvas

JonOne's style is a unique fusion of graffiti and abstract expressionism. His works combine calligraphy, colour and paint matter, creating dynamic compositions that cover the entire surface of the canvas.

Inspired by the energy and movement of urban life, JonOne uses interwoven lines and vivid colours to convey vitality and dynamism, making his creations instantly recognisable.

Collaborations and Exhibitions

Throughout his career, JonOne has collaborated with numerous internationally renowned brands, including Guerlain, Air France, Lacoste and Perrier, bringing his art into commercial contexts and expanding his audience.

He has exhibited his works in prestigious institutions and galleries, participating in group exhibitions such as ‘Born in the Streets - Graffiti’ at the Fondation Cartier and ‘Le Tag Collection Gallizia’ at the Grand Palais in Paris in 2009.

Official Recognition: The Legion of Honour

On 1 January 2015, JonOne was awarded the Legion of Honour by the French Republic, an honour that celebrates his contribution to art and culture.

On the occasion of this honour, he created the work ‘Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité’, a modern reinterpretation of the allegory of the French Republic, inspired by Eugène Delacroix's famous painting ‘Liberty Leading the People’.

This work was inaugurated at the Palais Bourbon, seat of the French National Assembly, and represents a symbol of republican values through contemporary art.

Exhibitions in Italy: The Link with Wunderkammern

JonOne has developed a strong connection with Italy, collaborating with the Wunderkammern gallery for several exhibitions.

In 2016, he presented his first solo exhibition at the gallery's Milan venue, followed by the exhibition ‘Niente può fermarmi’ in 2018 in Rome, hosted in the prestigious setting of Palazzo Velli in Trastevere.

These exhibitions consolidated his presence in the Italian art scene and allowed the public to appreciate his stylistic evolution up close.

Currently, JonOne continues to live and work in Paris, producing works that reflect his relentless artistic research and passion for innovation.

His art, rooted in graffiti culture, has evolved, embracing new forms of expression and gaining an ever-widening international audience.
