About this artwork
The work features a geometric composition constructed with stylized human figures—Cecconello's "hominids"—sculpted in gilded plaster and arranged in a continuous sequence, forming closed and intersecting trajectories. These indistinct and serial bodies take on the appearance of a decorative chain or a repetitive mechanism.
The background is divided into three horizontal bands: white, gold, and black, treated in a material way, with intentional drips… and irregularities that contrast with the precision of the golden shape.
The work is a powerful reflection on the dehumanization of the individual, engulfed in a collective structure that turns him into a decorative element, a repetitive pattern, a symbolic mechanism. The hominids, devoid of faces and identities, bend to form geometric patterns, as if society had molded them according to an external, impersonal design.

« 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.
