About the Item

Giacinto Cerone (1957–2004) was a fiercely independent Italian sculptor, uninfluenced by schools, movements, or trends. Born in Melfi, he moved to Rome in the 1980s, where he began an intense exploration of materials. From 1993, Faenza became central to his work, with ceramics as his expressive medium. At the Gatti workshop, he created glazed ceramic pieces using unconventional yet powerful techniques, experimenting with a vast range of colors and forms. Cerone’s art was marked by visceral energy, working instinctively with wood, ceramic, plastic, metal, marble, plaster, and stone. His rapid, gestural approach conveyed raw intensity. A solitary figure in sculpture, he rejected isolation, choosing instead complete artistic freedom. His work, always figurative yet never fully representational, left a mysterious, elusive presence. For Cerone, art was a vital explosion—an urgent need to shape thought into matter. Dimensions: 41 W × 36 H × 38 D cm

Giacomo Onestini ceramic sculpture Italy 1970
By Giacomo Onestini
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Beautiful ceramic sculpture designed by Giacomo Onestini made in his own atelier in Italy in 1970. It has a combination of matte and shiny glazed surfaces. The back and sides of the sculpture have a textured surface with shades of gray, green, and sometimes turquoise. On the front, there's a carved-out section that's smooth and glazed with red and gold hues. It's a very appealing and intriguing piece. You can find the artist's signature, "Onestini," on the side of the sculpture. This piece was created in the artist's personal studio. Very nice large sized, heavy piece and in excellent condition. After graduating as a master ceramist, Onestini moved to San Marino where he found employment at the "Marmaca" ceramics factory. Around the end of the 1950s, he moved to Salerno and began working with the "Ernestine...
