Eltono - Carriers #3. TNT
Technique: Acrylic on wooden box
Artist Biography: French artist Eltono (b. 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 stubborn flâneur and a chronic observer, Eltono has used public space as his support, 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 artworks.Eltono has made 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. For the past twelve years, his work in galleries has focused on finding solutions to the dilemma of exhibiting public art in private spaces.To send the works from his studio to the gallery, Eltono created wooden boxes to protect them. The box is empty and the work itself is painted on the outside bottom. During the journey, the lid breaks and the shippers unknowingly participate in the process of creating the artwork. "It's about seeing how external factors like friction can affect and change the work," Eltono emphasizes. The work includes a video edit documenting the action.
