The dutch born artist “82Eliote” may not call his homeland home anymore, but in his adopted town of Marseille in France, his art has well and truly found home. Since 2003 the artist has been pushing, bending and forming his artwork so much so that he has become renowned for his graffiti letters that mute into abstraction, composition and forms. His use of the aerosol can appears as if it is an extension of his body. A suitcase packed with Montana GOLD and Montana BLACK are as good a companion to him as a passport and a fresh clothes. Which was another reason aside from his great artworks that the Montana Store Vienna was proud to host him as their latest instore exhibition. ELIOTE x MONTANA STORE VIENNA

Forms that moved and faded with atmosphere graced the walls in complementation to little hand made works that took shapes and references to letters to another level. Take a look for yourself here.
