Artist - Mimmo Rotella

Collage of some Rotella works
Mimmo Rotella is known for his collages of posters literally torn from the streets and pasted onto canvas, revealing what look like layers of other posters beneath. He called these 'Decollages'. Later he partially tore the canvas again naming the technique 'Double Decollage'.
Rotella used the debris of urban life to comment directly on the society in which they lived.

*Reminds me of the graffiti near the site
