Gastone Cecconello (Vercelli, 1942) is an Italian artist with over fifty years of activity. His research develops through painting, sculpture, and mixed media, constructing a coherent and recognizable language based on symbolism, matter, and the figure of the hominid as a metaphor for the human condition.
His work explores the relationship between the archaic and the contemporary, between memory, myth, and everyday reality, maintaining a constant tension between formal rigor and expressive force. In 2013, the monograph Alle origini del mito, edited by Lorella Giudici, was published, critically retracing the artist's entire career.
