Since his days bombing the same bricks that birthed the word graffiti, the Italian-born, mathematically-educated artist Moneyless (real name Teo Pirisi) has seen his work rise from vandalism to the vanguard of contemporary abstract art. His collection of work titled Paper Teller, at Soze Gallery is a testament to the artist's evolution.

According to the show's press release,"Moneyless' art is characterized by an investigation on the rawest elements of life and focuses on a process of continuous evolution. Moneyless' aesthetic seems to quote a Platonic vision where geometry is represented as the structure, the foundation upon which all nature is built. Fire, air, water and earth are the basic elements of existence and they come out from the multiplication of the main geometrical figure, the triangle: we'd better say division rather than multiplication, because it's through subtraction that Moneyless looks into evolution."

Paper Teller opened to rave reviews. In honor of the stellar showcase, the folks over at Soze Gallery were kind enough to send us an exclusive video that documents Moneyless' creation process, as well as the triumphs of opening night:
