Cinemascope 1962

"Cinemascope" (1962) by Italian artist Mimmo Rotella is a prime example of the artist's signature "décollage" technique, where he tears and removes layers of advertising posters to create new, abstract compositions. Rotella’s use of urban ephemera, in this case, film posters, reflects his fascination with popular culture and the fleeting nature of urban life. The work’s vibrant colors and fragmented imagery create a dynamic and layered effect, engaging the viewer in a visual exploration of the artist's creative process and the underlying messages of the source materials.
