About this artwork
This work is constructed through a sequence of juxtaposed chromatic fields, where green dominates as a field of balance and visual breathing. The color doesn't describe a recognizable landscape, but evokes its internal rhythm, made up of stratifications, pauses, and tonal variations.
The painted surface is dense and textured: each layer retains the traces of the gesture, making the time of construction visible. The rectangular shapes are organized… into an orderly but not rigid structure, suggesting a composition born from listening to the color rather than from a preliminary drawing.
The work conveys a sense of calm and depth, inviting slow, contemplative viewing. It's a painting that engages with space, capable of fitting naturally into a contemporary setting without sacrificing a strong visual presence.

« 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.
