Eliot Saarinen

Currently showing in his 3rd solo exhibition at Frank Picture’s Gallery, and Curator of Prohibition Gallery, Saarinen’s artistic career was forged in a decade-long exploration of street art and graffiti, where creation and destruction, temporary and permanent, are inexorably intertwined. He used spray paint, etch bath markers, marsh brushes and roller paint around his Los Angeles neighborhood.Fueled by an unyielding curiosity, Saarinen explores human rituals and habits as told through his manipulation of the familiar. With his abstract works on canvas Saarinen continues to examine man’s relationship to the natural world and its beauty.
