Mario Ceroli nasce il 17 maggio 1938 a Castel Frentano, piccolo paese in Abruzzo, in provincia di Chieti, ed in seguito si sposta a Roma dove studia all’Accademia di Belle Arti.
Qui conosce gli scultori Leoncillo Leonardi, Pericle Fazzini e Ettore Colla, e con loro compie la sua formazione diventando anche assistente di Colla. Grazie a questi contatti, Ceroli si interessa alla lavorazione della ceramica, ma presto predilige il legno, e grazie ad alcuni lavori viene insignito nel 1958 del premio per la giovane scultura italiana.
Questa propensione per materiali di origine umile lo rende a tutti gli effetti un precursore del gruppo Arte Povera, e non a caso partecipa con le sue opere ad alcune mostre del collettivo alla fine degli anni Sessanta.
Le prime opere di Mario Ceroli sono realizzate in legno e datate 1957. Negli anni Sessanta, Ceroli entra in contatto con la Pop Art ed inizia a ragionare sui materiali e le forme, approdando all’idea delle sagome, anche dette silhouette, ovvero delle figure umane stilizzate intagliate nel legno grezzo privo di pittura, quindi lasciato con il suo colore naturale. Spesso Ceroli le produceva in serie, ponendole una di fronte all’altra oppure affiancate, dando vita ad una delle sue cifre stilistiche più marcate e riconoscibili.
