Eltono

French artist Eltono (born in 1975) has spent the last ten years working in Madrid, four years in Beijing, and now resides in the South of France. Known as a dogged flâneur and chronic observer, Eltono has used public space as his medium, studio, and inspiration for years. His sensitivity to what is happening around him and his deep understanding of the unpredictable and capricious nature of the street are the main tools he uses to create works of art. Eltono has left his mark in more than 90 cities around the world, intervening in the streets and showing his work in renowned museums and galleries, such as the Tate Modern and Somerset House in London, the Miró Foundation in Barcelona, and the Artium Museum in Vitoria-Gasteiz. For the last twelve years, his gallery work has focused on finding solutions to the dilemma of exhibiting public art in private spaces.
