Corriere Art Collection presents Multilayer 552, a work by German artist Felix Schramm for la Lettura: an exploration of matter, space and perception, where the boundaries between art and architecture begin to dissolve.
What happens when an artwork breaks through the boundaries of its own surface?
For Felix Schramm, the canvas is no longer simply a space for representation. It becomes a threshold, a place where materials fracture, overlap and extend beyond their physical limits.
This vision lies at the heart of Multilayer 552, the artwork featured on the new collectible cover of la Lettura. Through a striking composition of layered materials and fragmented images, Schramm challenges our perception of space, transforming an apparently solid surface into something unstable, dynamic and full of possibilities.
Where Art Meets Architecture
Born in Hamburg in 1970, Felix Schramm is a German artist whose practice explores the relationship between material, architecture and perception.
His work moves beyond traditional distinctions between painting, sculpture and installation, creating visual environments in which the artwork appears to become part of the surrounding space.
In his Multilayer series, large-scale collages made from overlapping plasterboard and photographic fragments seem to emerge naturally from the walls on which they are displayed.
The materials of the artwork appear to merge with those of the exhibition space, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish where architecture ends and art begins.
Rather than presenting an image within a defined frame, Schramm transforms the surface itself into an active element of the composition.
Multilayer 552: A New Way of Seeing
In Multilayer 552 (2026), the artist brings this investigation into a powerful visual form.
Layers of plasterboard, colour and inkjet paint create a complex structure in which surfaces appear to fracture, shift and reveal unexpected depths.
The work challenges the traditional idea of the artwork as a window onto another reality. Instead, it suggests something more radical: a rupture within the space itself.
These fractures become openings through which familiar structures lose their stability and new visual relationships emerge.
On the cover of la Lettura, the composition seems to extend beyond the boundaries of the page, creating a dialogue between the physical presence of the artwork and its photographic representation.
The result is an image that invites viewers to question what they see and reconsider the relationship between surface, depth and space.
An Artistic Language Beyond Boundaries
Schramm's work is currently on view at Ribot Gallery in Milan, offering an opportunity to explore his distinctive approach to material and architectural space.
His artistic research transforms walls and surfaces into visual structures that challenge our expectations of solidity and permanence.
For Schramm, the wall is not simply something to overcome. It becomes an expressive medium, capable of revealing new dimensions of perception.
A New Artwork for Corriere Art Collection
With this special edition of la Lettura, Felix Schramm's Multilayer 552 also enters Corriere Art Collection.
Through the QR code included with the collector's edition, readers can access the NFT-certified digital version of the artwork via the Corriere Art Collection app.
The initiative continues to bring contemporary artistic research into dialogue with new forms of digital collecting, transforming the magazine cover into an artwork to discover, preserve and collect.
Multilayer 552 becomes more than an image: it is an invitation to look beyond the visible surface and explore the infinite possibilities hidden within space.
Because in Felix Schramm's world, art does not simply occupy space. It breaks it open, transforms it and teaches us to see differently.
