SLASKY

Biography

« Art is not representing new things, but representing with novelties. »
Slasky is an established artist from Italy whose works have been featured in solo and group shows internationally. Fascinated by Caravaggio's The Conversion of San Paolo as a child, Slasky dedicated himself to a life of painting, merging classical works of art with contemporary digital art techniques. With his neo urban classic style, he bridges tradition and modernism, bringing protagonists of the original works of art into contemporary social and artistic environments.

The style is very personal working from some of the world's most recognisable images. The works have an instant sense of familiarity, but presented with an injection, sometimes explosion of colour and life that absorbs them with richness and modernity. Details are thrust front and centre in his canvases, using techniques of contrasting colours, textured backgrounds and screen prints to create the same subject in varying guises, separating them from their traditional backdrops.
