PUBBLICO - Eltono - Milano 2009 from Eltono on Vimeo.
The groundbreaking graphic interventions of the artist Eltono, French born and residing in Madrid, have attracted attention in cities all over the world. He leaves his marks between Scotland and Brazil. Derived from classical graffiti writing, Eltono has developed a unique form of abstract minimalism that has led to outdoor work for the Tate Modern in London, a sanctioned project on 150 doors in a Spanish Village, Gallery shows in 12 countries, the 2002 Liverpool Biennial, and Spanish Arco art fair.
With his own form of expression he defines and emphasizes gaps in public urban space. Eltono’s urban interventions are the result of a spontaneous reaction to confront the visual saturation of the urban space. Painting simple forms such as tuning forks, without an apparent message, is his way of countering the posters, advertising and signs that are imposed, almost with force, to the eyes of urban pedestrians. In this context, his paintings propose a kind of visual rest, they do not sell or order anything, they only exist in an aesthetic and composition proposal questioning mass communication. They are an open door to observation and free interpretation
