Moneyless and Basik

I think we are the only site out that can go from an Interview with an artist like Geso, then transition into another artist such as Moneyless. I tend to think that even if on polar opposites they both need to be represented and acknowledged. Moneyless’s work borders on the conceptual as he is a viewer as well as a purveyor of space. His ability to take an abandoned or natural environment and turn it into a work of art is truly amazing. His paintings and drawings are also able to stand on there own as works of art as his geometric style and use of color works well with his ideas. Moneyless an Italian artist with a thorough background in art and has chosen like so many contemporary artist currently, to work in public spaces and abandoned areas. It seems like Artists that maybe 10 years ago might have been showing in galleries and museums are instead choosing to show where they decide in the streets. I got mixed opinions on street artists but i cant deny an artist like Moneyless’s work. There was a time when non objective abstract was a nouveu term, well we need a new term to define the new non-letterobjective artist that are starting to emerge in the graffiti scene. I know the argument about what is and isnt graffiti, but there is no denying artists like Moneyless that are taking part in the culture regardless of your definition. Im just going to sit back and admire the art that these artists produce and not get into the semantics. Here is a quick bio on Moneyless.
