CUSTOM BODY Scrooge (2016) Sculpture by Umberto Zive

Umberto, stage name Zive, is a contemporary Italian pop and street artist. Born with a love for graffiti, he expands that love on other supports such as cardboard, plywood, many layers of canvas, and other materials using various sizes and techniques. 

The eclectic and imaginative artist is conceptually illustrating the power of money in all its declinations in his fantastic Money Cycle project. He devotes himself to the production of pictorial assemblies on sculptural supports while working on the Money cycle. He uses his chromatic colors to create the Custom body and unique materials like the usage of LEDs to create the dazzling body. Additionally, he committed himself to the development of cycles like "Star Money" or "DiabolikArt."

Umberto Zive was born in 2001, in Milan, Italy, where he currently attends the Milan Art school Umberto Boccioni. He exhibited his works in Italy, at Milan Fashion Week and ArtParma Fair 2018, and in London at Parallax Art Fair Kensington 2019. The artist is listed in the Silvia Landi-edited and Feltrinelli-distributed book of contemporary art.
