Untitled by Ruggero Gamberini, Image 1.
In this untitled collage from 2003, Gamberini allows gesture to dominate the composition, approaching the threshold between collage and painting. Broad sweeps of oil-painted paper overlap in a horizontal flow, creating a layered surface rich in tonal modulation and movement. Soft transitions between greens, blues, and greys suggest depth and atmosphere, while the collage seams subtly anchor the composition. The work conveys a sense of quiet continuity, reflecting a late practice marked by openness, control, and material sensitivity.
