About Slasky

 
 
  • Biography
    Slasky is an established Italian artist, whose work has been presented in solo and collective exhibitions at the international level, including an exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, as well as in other international cultural spaces and contexts.

    His research is based on the fusion between the heritage of classical art and contemporary languages, through digital techniques, works of mixed technique and conceptual practises. With a distinctive neo-urban language, Slasky establishes a dialogue between tradition and modernity, moving the protagonists of historical works to current social and visual contexts, generating new readings and multiple levels of meaning.

    The Neo Urban Classic series was born from this need: to reinterpret original works of art through contemporary tools - digital and material - preserving their symbolic and cultural value, but inserting them into the present. The images, although immediately recognisable, are reworked in such a way that they require an active participation of the viewer in the understanding of the work, transforming the aesthetic experience into an act of critical participation.

    Slasky's work combines urban influences and contemporary pop art, moving between image, matter and concept, and focussing his attention on the icons of our time and on those who have marked significant moments in history. The works evoke a sense of familiarity, enriched by determined chromatic interventions and by a visual vitality that renews its language.

    Details, chromatic contrasts, material stratifications, structured backgrounds and the use of screen printing become tools to isolate and multiply the subject, detaching it from its original context and restoring it as an autonomous image, contemporary and loaded with symbolic tension


    The art is not to represent new things, but to represent with novelty.

    Dates: 31 May 2015 - 30 Aug 2015

    Venue: Fondazione Opera Campana dei Caduti - Rovereto - Trento (Italia), Rovereto - Trento - Italia

    The Bell of the Fallen is a symbol and, as such, it contains innumerable meanings, which tangibly remind us every day the commitment, perseverance and strength of many people who have fought for peace and unity among people.
    Gandhi, Martin Luther King, the Dalai Lama, Johan Galtung, Jane Addams, Aung San Suu Kyi, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez only to mention the most famous, and so many other great people have turned their life into a manifest of the importance of dialogue and SHARING.
    During the last ninety years, wars and violence have often prevailed in the world; remembering, only as an example, the holocaust, peace appeared and still often appears as an unattainable utopia, but these men and women remind us every day, how it is possible, as well as necessary.
    In this event Spazio-Tempo Arte wants to keep alive the memory of the ones who have worked hard for peace in the world, of all who still are and address to all those who want to continue this philosophy every day, in the macro as well as in the micro context of each individual reality.
    During the twentieth century and in the early years of the new century, many violent events have led to as many and even more initiatives dedicated to peace which have left their mark, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, Woodstock, the abolition of apartheid, the non-violent revolutions and many other events less famous at a media level, that, however, help and promote each day the process of pacification.
    The event exhorts artists to represent peace in unconventional ways, whether talking about the concept of peace, dialogue and non-violence in general, or quoting famous or common people, both on internationally known and unknown events that characterized our century, or anything the artists would bring to the attention of the public on this topic through any artistic form.
    An event, then, that recounts the facts, the actions and the persons that, from 1925 to 2015, have left fundamental testimonies of peace.
