Renowned for his heavily layered, monochromatic works, Paolo Scheggi was a pioneer in his approach to painting – his earliest works to receive recognition were his sheet metal collages and assemblages. He then later received critical acclaim for his Strutture Modulari and Intersupifici works, both of which featured a solidly coloured canvas or cardboard base, dotted with small elliptical holes – the arrangement of the work, with both being placed atop one another, created an effect in which one layer exposed the one beneath it.
