SERGIO CECCHI



1921-1987

STATEMENT



My research in the visual art consists, under the philosophical aspect, in removing the appearance so to penetrate into the invisible and profound interiority of things.

Artlogie, artsophia.

Mediums, elements and characteristics with which I work are: form, movement, spatial composition, sense and penetration, the Golden Rule. To arrive at the content: everything must be placed in the hierarchy of perfection, the order.


Sergio Cecchi, Genève, 1984
