“Décollage, literally the ungluing of paper, is the practice for which Mimmo Rotella is best known. He would furtively tear posters from public walls, glue the promotional materials to canvas, and then tear them again to create abstract compositions. The surface of the torn poster proved to be a site of rich discovery for the artist as it supplied him with a seemingly endless store of imagery, at first abstract and then increasingly related to mass consumerism and the cinema.
