About this artwork
A face that chooses silence. Eyelids closed, mouth tight, form reduced to the essential: there is no tension, only an absolute suspension from the noise of the world.
Limited edition of three numbered copies signed by the artist. Included in the curated collection "SHE IS THE VASE: Past, Present, Becoming," selected by Singulart in 2025.
Cecconello models plaster with the same essentiality with which the archaic masters sculpted stone—nothing is… superfluous, every curve a choice. The stylized forms emerge from the material without decoration, without color, without anything unnecessary.
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 Hamburg, and the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna. At over eighty, he still works every day in his studio in Salussola, Biella.

« 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.
