Cloud #2 Painting

Gastone Cecconello (Vercelli, 1942) is an artist with inexhaustible creative flair and he expresses himself through all the means available to him: from engraving to painting, from sculpture to mixed media. All his works show an endless struggle between the matter consistency and the desire to go back to the simplicity of origins, between the seductive beauty of iron, of wood, of stone and the brightness of colored pastes and of pastel lines, which fill and liven up the surfaces which they are laid on. Solitary researcher standing out from the crowd, tireless and tenacious experimenter, but intolerant by nature of art belief systems and of social belongings as well, Cecconello comes from a long history which allows him to be a leading figure in the national art scene. He lives and works in Piemonte, in the province of Biella.
