Mimmo Rotella — Apres Van Gogh
Mimmo Rotella

Apres Van Gogh

A vibrant homage to the Post-Impressionist master, Rotella's work layers torn paper fragments and bold oil paint across a gleaming galvanized metal surface, creating a dynamic tension between industrial material and artistic reverence. The rough, weathered edges of the collaged elements evoke Rotella's signature décollage technique, while the metallic ground lends a striking luminosity to the composition. Through this interplay of textures and media, Rotella reimagines Van Gogh's expressive legacy through a distinctly modern, urban lens.
