Untitled by Ruggero Gamberini  Image: This powerful composition presents a solitary, curled human figure enclosed within a circular space. The dense cross-hatching and the stark contrast between light and shadow convey a sense of psychological tension and interiority. The figure’s posture - compact, protective, almost foetal - suggests vulnerability, isolation, and introspection. The work exemplifies Gamberini’s expressive draughtsmanship and his continued exploration of the human condition through contorted, emotionally charged forms. Edition of 11.
