About the Item

In Untitled (Red Sheet), made in 2005, Gabriele Arruzzo blends pop aesthetics, narrative provocation and contemporary visual culture in an acrylic on canvas work with a strong iconographic impact. Measuring 80 x 80 cm, the painting presents a lively and ironic composition in which a masked female figure embraces a large black rat, while an outstretched arm raises a red drape, as if in a theatrical gesture. The background, dotted with stars on a bluish-green background, accentuates the surreal and mythical dimension. The work is a perfect example of Arruzzo's language: hybrid, bold and strongly narrative, with references to pop culture, mythology, comics and the world of advertising. The saturated colors, sharp lines, and intentionally ambiguous symbolism capture attention and raise questions about identity construction, desire, and collective iconography. This canvas is a fine choice for collectors and interior design professionals looking for contemporary Italian art with a clear conceptual flair. Gabriele Arruzzo (b. 1976, Teramo) is an Italian visual artist known for his cultured and provocative approach to the contemporary image. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, he lives and works between Rome and Berlin. Arruzzo is distinguished by a figurative painting that draws as much from pop culture as from the classical tradition, deconstructing icons and symbols in a powerful and immediate visual key The artist has exhibited in prestigious Italian and international spaces, including: MAXXI Museum, Rome MARCA Museum, Catanzaro Volume! Foundation, Rome Italian Cultural Institute, Berlin Biennial Young Artists of Europe and the Mediterranean His works are part of public and private collections in Italy, Germany, France and the United States. He has received accolades from critics and curators for his ability to unite cultural imagery in a sophisticated and accessible way.
