Untitled by Ruggero Gamberini, Image 1.
In this untitled collage from 2003, Gamberini foregrounds the act of cutting and layering as a compositional strategy in its own right. Torn and sharply cut paper fragments overlap in a dynamic vertical arrangement, producing a lively interplay of colour, transparency, and edge. Hints of printed matter remain visible, allowing the source material to surface without becoming illustrative. The composition balances spontaneity with control, suggesting a playful yet disciplined approach to abstraction in the artist’s late work.
