Untitled by Ruggero Gamberini, Image 1.
Compressed and quietly intense, this small collage works like a held breath. Horizontal bands of deep green and blue settle into a shallow, almost landscape-like space, disrupted by a dark vertical incision that refuses to behave. The oil paint alternates between smooth passages and rough drag marks, while the collage edges introduce subtle fractures. It’s a modest format with an immodest sense of tension - contained, but never calm.
