About this artwork
A seated nun, her head tucked under her veil, her body composed in a posture of recollection. But beneath her robes, a woman remains: her breasts, her full curves, the flesh that the religious habit covers without ever truly denying.
It is here that Cecconello stages the tension—not devotion, but what devotion restrains. The figure is both sacred and sensual, withdrawn from the world yet undeniably corporeal. Recollection does not extinguish femininity:… it preserves it, compresses it, makes it even more present precisely because it is restrained.
Limited edition of 3 copies, numbered and signed by the artist.
Gastone Cecconello (Vercelli, 1942) has been working for over sixty years in sculpture, painting, and mixed media. Critic Pierre Restany has written about his work. He has exhibited at Columbia University in New York, the Staatsuniversität in Hamburg, and the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna.

« Only the art remains. »
Gastone Cecconello (Vercelli, 1942) has been working for over sixty years in painting, sculpture, and mixed media. His visual language—based on the figure of the hominid as a metaphor for the human condition—arises from the dialogue between matter and symbol, between the archaic and the contemporary.
He has exhibited in over one hundred solo shows in Italy and abroad: Columbia University in New York, Staatsuniversität Hamburg, the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna, and Galerie Man Arte in Paris. Critic Pierre Restany has written about his work. His career is documented in the monograph Alle origini del mito (Silvana Editoriale, 2012).
At over eighty years old, he still works every day in his studio in Salussola, Biella.
