From the window (1994)Mixed-media painting by Gastone Cecconello

70 x 50 x 4cm (framed)

£3,492.4

This work is constructed around the image of a window: a clear, central opening that establishes itself as the sole point of connection between interior and exterior.
The concrete and painted surface transforms the window into an architectural and mental element, rather than a functional one: it does not invite one to go outside, but to observe.
Through the window, a simple landscape can be glimpsed, reduced to a line of hills and a few trees, like a distant image, filtered by time and memory. The yellow light that fills the opening is not descriptive, but symbolic: it suggests warmth, expectation, possibility.
The interior space, darker and more compact, is silent and closed, while small elements in the foreground introduce a fragile and human dimension, almost traces of presence or abandoned daily life.
The window thus becomes a boundary and a threshold, a place of separation but also of desire, where the landscape is no longer to be crossed, but rather to be contemplated.
