Zïlon, Painter, Montreal

Renowned painter and illustrator, Zïlon has become a Montreal icon. He started out as a graffiti artist over 30 years ago and was the first graffiti-style artist gallery owner Yves LaRoche took under his wing in 1998.

[...] Zïlon is a painter musician. The music can be heard in the background every one of his paintings; music which is not necessarily noisy, but barely perceptible…atmospheric. To look at his work is to allow oneself to hear the music. This is key in approaching the spirit of Zïlon ; the spirit that envelops him while he is holding his brush. [...]- Wajdi Mouawad

This is a video of Zïlon's exhibition "En Noir & Blanc" presented at Ogylivie's Tudor Hall in collaboration with Dress to Kill Magazine. Discover Ogilvy's amazing store window designed by Zïlon.
