Sergio Ceccotti Italy, b. 1935

"Behind the false resemblance of truth, Ceccotti's paintings highlight a more pernicious reality, and disturbing than the one that is hatched in shadows under comforting appearance" - Patrick Roegiers

Sergio Ceccotti is the painter of normality, of the "bizarre ordinariness" according to Philippe Soupault. Banality of everyday life forms the basis of his pictorial narratives filled with irony. By a process that traps the viewer into a powerless witness or voyeur, his painting unveils a complex network of correspondences that reflects paradoxes and fears of our times.
