John Andrew Perello, known as JonOne, is a pioneer of graffiti who emerged from New York’s 1980s scene - crossing paths with Basquiat and Warhol -before moving to Paris in 1987. "Bleu Horizons" distills his signature “tag-as-gesture” into a limited edition that layers sweeping calligraphic strokes, splashes, and drips across a deep field of blues. The work channels the speed and improvisation of the street into a controlled, rhythmic composition, capturing JonOne’s trademark energy while pushing his language of color and movement into a refined, collectible format.
