Untitled by Ruggero Gamberini, Image 1.
In this compact collage, Gamberini layers vertical bands of rust red, ochre, black and chalky white, allowing oil paint to scrape, bleed and settle into the paper. The composition reads like a fractured wall or a weathered urban surface, where gestures accumulate rather than resolve. The tension between opacity and translucency gives the work a tactile, almost archaeological quality, suggesting memory, erosion and the persistence of form.
