Eloul’s art training started in Tel Aviv in 1938 and continued in 1939 at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he studied with Frank Lloyd Wright, and at the Chicago School of Design with Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. In 1959 he represented Israel at the 29th Venice Biennale. He settled permanently in Toronto, Canada, in 1969, where he died in 1995. Eloul’s characteristic monumental sculptures grace the public spaces of many Canadian cities.
