eltonolab Mural @ 43 Tremont St

The eltonolab mural is a public artwork in downtown Lynn, organized by Beyond Walls and listed by the Downtown Lynn Cultural District. It was created by ELTONO, a French artist who for years has used public space as his support, his studio and his source of inspiration. His practice is built around the street itself, and this mural brings his work to a wall in Lynn’s downtown, where it can be seen by people passing through the district.

Beyond Walls describes ELTONO as a flaneur, a stubborn walker and a chronic observer. His sensitivity to what is happening around him and his knowledge of the nature of the street, with its whims and its unpredictability, are the main tools he uses when generating new works. He has worked in the streets of more than ninety cities, and his art has also been shown in world-renowned galleries and museums.
