Inside the Studio

Visit with Eltono

We visit Eltono at his Belvès studio where he creates his sculptures and works on paper. Inspired by chance, happenstance and coincidence, his works are generated through the aid of a CNC router transformed into a drawing machine. By relying on the machine's mechanical plotting of drawn coordinates, there is a remove between the artist and the artwork which allows the work to generate autonomously.

Over the years, while searching for ways to connect my work in the public space with my studio practice, I became obsessed with randomness and constraint - with the unknown and the loss of control. This allowed me to develop a unique, innovative process that provides an antidote to control.
