In this 2003 collage, Ruggero Gamberini works through layered gestures of oil paint and paper to construct a compact field of shifting depths. Muted greys, mossy greens and saturated blues slide against one another, creating a sense of vertical movement and internal tension. The surface feels worked and revised, as if the image has been arrived at through hesitation rather than certainty. Abstraction here is not decorative but exploratory - a space where colour, texture and rhythm test their own limits.
