Year: 2025

Single work

Curatorial description:

Double Resurrection is born from the contemporary rereading of a work of the Venetian pictorial tradition: the Resurrection of Christ attributed to the circle of Girolamo da Santa Croce. Slasky intervenes on the historical image through a double digital exposure in magenta and cyan, creating a visual short circuit between past and present, between sacred iconography and the visual syntax of the perceptual glitch.

The Renaissance composition, symmetrical and static, is destabilised by chromatic interference. The figure of Christ - emblem of spiritual rebirth - multiplies and vibrates, divided between two visual frequencies that never fully coincide. Magenta and cyan are not just colours, but digital codes, opposite frequencies that recall the RGB era and the limits of human vision.

The result is a resurrection in the broadest sense: a return of the image that is not satisfied with the representation, but asks to be crossed. The work speaks of faith and perception, of memory and distortion, of icons that resist the erosion of time only if regenerated by the present.

The choice to work on a religious image, and to contaminate it with contemporary digital languages, is a reflection on the transmission of symbols: what remains sacred today, and how do we see it?

Keywords: double exposure, magenta/cyan, sacred icon, visual interference, rebirth, temporal stratification, digital language, tradition and rupture.

Slasky is an established Italian artist whose works have been exhibited in personal and collective exhibitions internationally

The artist has the ability to fuse classical works of art with contemporary digital art techniques. With its classic neo-urban style, it combines tradition and modernity, bringing the protagonists of original works of art into contemporary social and artistic environments.
