Painted in 2014, Scomposizione is one of Ruggero Gamberini’s final works before his death in 2017. This expressive still life features a bold, abstracted rendering of a cut apple - a recurring subject in his late career. With vibrant, fractured planes of colour and dynamic brushwork, Gamberini transforms a simple motif into a vivid meditation on time, decay, and transformation. The painting bridges the traditional genre of still life with the language of contemporary abstraction.
