Indifference Kills II (2024) Giclée print by Slasky

A timeless martyr.

A classical body pierced not only by arrows, but by the symbols of our time.

Indifference Kills emerges from the tension between the sacred and urban culture. Traditional martyr iconography is crossed by old-school tattoos—marks of love, loss, pride, and survival. The skin becomes a manifesto. The body becomes a political surface.

The arrows no longer represent physical persecution alone. They embody the gaze that looks away, the silence, the refusal to take a stand. Today, indifference is the most elegant form of violence.

Baroque aesthetics and tattoo culture coexist in a disturbing harmony, creating an image that is iconic, immediate, and impossible to ignore. A secular saint pierced not by hatred, but by the absence of empathy.

This is not decoration.
It is a statement.

Slasky (b. 1972, Italy) is a self-taught artist working from Artena, Rome. His practice emerged from outside
the institutional art system — a background in manual labour that informs both the materiality of his work and
the precision of its conceptual framework. Active since 2015, he has built an independent market presence
across Europe and Asia before undertaking a decisive shift toward institutional research practice.
