Moneyless Rearranges His Geometric Works in “Fragmentations”

Italy based street artist Teo Pirisi, known as "Moneyless", is constantly seeking to evolve his already abstract style of work. For his last major solo exhibition (covered here), he sought inspiration in geometrical shapes and patterns. These, he feels, are the fundamentals of life that at their core represent a multitude of possibility. As such, they appear throughout his graffiti writing, painting, drawings and found object installations. For his current exhibition, "Fragmentations," at BC Gallery in Berlin, Moneyless reduces this concept to its most simplified form.

As such, they appear throughout his graffiti writing, painting, drawings and found object installations. For his current exhibition, “Fragmentations,” at BC Gallery in Berlin, Moneyless reduces this concept to its most simplified form. In what he describes as a deconstruction, shapes that once touched and overlapped are split into fragments. The result is a more animate and energetic version of his earlier artworks. Those pieces also displayed movement by guiding the eye through a continuous, flowing motion. Here, the viewer’s eye bounces from sliver to sliver of line and color. Take a look at more photos of “Fragmentations” below, courtesy of the artist and the gallery.

“Fragmentations” by Moneyless is now on view at BC Gallery through June 27th.

12 years after artist Kent Twitchell painted Los Angeles' favorite "Freeway Lady" overlooking the 101 freeway, it was erased by a billboard company. Originally painted in 1974, the mural is a tribute to the artist's grandmother who lived in Hollywood. She is depicted holding a colorful, handmade afghan blanket that she gifted to Twitchell. In Hi-Fructose Vol. 37, we caught up with Twitchell during the piece's restoration, which was recently completed on October 10th.
Buenos Aires based artist Nicolás Romero, aka "Ever Siempre" or "Ever", began his career painting letter-based graffiti which has since evolved into colorful, figurative oil paintings. His portraits of every day people, family members, and political figures are usually based on images that he finds on the internet, then reinterpreted into surrealistic paintings that echo his street art. Self-described as "obsessive" about the human body and experimentation with its form, Ever brings a certain personal mythology to his subjects.

This is one of the few murals he has painted as of late, as he has been focusing on studio work this year. DAL's distinctive style evolved from his effort to paint large pieces without using much paint, a technique he came up with back in his homeland. As time went on, this technique became his unique, recognizable signature.
