Biography
Biography
Allon was born in Netanya, Israel and studied art in high school. After his graduation, he served as a sergeant major in the military incarceration facility Ktzi'ot for three years. In 2004, he published his first zine and had a blog named "garlic pepper and anal sex". In the years 2005–2009, he received his bachelor in visual communication from Shenkar College Engineering and Design. After graduation, he started creating comic books and booklets (for example, in 2010 he published "Hysteric Behavior", cooperation with author Etgar Keret), participate in book fairs and also teach visual communication. His books were shown in the Fumetto festival, Lucerne and the Angoulême International Comics Festival. He was a part of the Artist collectives of "P8 gallery" and "Hanina Place for Art" in Tel Aviv. Since 2009, Allon is also active in the art world. His first solo show was exhibited in Tel Aviv that year. At first, he focused on painting and drawing, but after attending HaMidrasha – Faculty of the Arts in the years 2012–2014, he expanded his research to performance and installation. His most famous project is "The Dictator", which deals with his time in the army. In one work, Allon locked himself up in a gallery for a week, being the prisoner and the warden of himself at the same time. In 2010, he teamed up with Shani Broner, an Israeli musician, to publish a radio drama album called ״Two Days One Night״ under the name "Satla Land". The duo regularly performs in galleries and museums, such as Cartoonmuseum Basel and Haifa Museum of Art. In 2016, they published a short EP release called The F2's.
