Zïlon, born in 1956 in Laval, is a self-taught and versatile artist not only considered a figurehead of the Montreal underground punk movement of the 70s and 80s, but he is particularly recognized as one of the pioneers of Quebec street art, spreading this practice. and its international aesthetic. He currently resides in Montreal. He painted on canvas, paper, wood and even on the walls of Montreal. Her androgynous faces are her signature, recognizable among thousands. they multiply, accumulate, overlap, to expose or tell the emotions of a man, of his generation and of the movement that carried it. Whether they are composed of a multitude of variegated elements, or simple black lines, his works thus seem to contain his portrait, fragmented through the choice or the impulse of each line, each color. Presented in more than fifty exhibitions, from Montreal, to Paris, to Tokyo, the works of Zïlon can be found today all over the world, marking the legacy of this major, multidisciplinary figure and irreverent street art.
