MONEYLESS_Milan, 1980

Teo Pirisi aka Moneyless lives and works in Lucca, Tuscany.

He is considered one of the most influential urban-abstract-artist of recent years. For years he has been doing research and investigation on different aspects of shapes and geometrical spaces as a visual artist. After graduating at Carrara Fine Arts Academy (multimedia course), Moneyless attended a postgraduate course in Communication Design at Isia in Florence. At the same time he developed an individual artistic career that brought his artworks to be shown in public spaces as well as abandoned spots.

His graphic signature was born from the Italian scene of the Nineties graffiti, from which the artist gradually stood out to dedicate himself to a personalized abstract-geometric search focused on the purity of form. Moneyless’s aesthetics is based on the concept of Less is more: the geometric form, although minimized, has a strain and invisible movement inside. His works (painting on paper, canvas or walls, sculptures, installations) are the result of his continuous experimentation to investigate the infinite possibilities of geometric composition.

In recent years Moneyless has been holding several collective and personal exhibitions in Italy and around the world.
