AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Title: Jupiter Chastised – Urban Intervention

The work is based on Jupiter chided by Venus, an intense seventeenth-century composition by the Flemish master Abraham Janssens.

The original painting fully embodies Baroque tension: theatricality, the plastic power of bodies, emotional dynamism, and myth as a representation of power. Jupiter, ruler of the gods, is caught in a moment of confrontation with Venus, in a scene charged with energy and pathos.

In this contemporary intervention, classical balance is deliberately altered.

On Jupiter’s body appear wide Japanese-style tattoos, elaborate and symbolic, which transform divine authority into a surface marked by culture and identity. The idealized body of Baroque tradition thus becomes a site of personal narrative and visual stratification.

Additional tattoos were inserted on the shoulders of the female figure placed to the left (not on Venus), emphasizing the contrast between classical myth and contemporary language. These marks act as elements of assertion, almost visual armor, that destabilize the formal purity of the original.

The background has been reimagined through the insertion of urban graffiti: marked walls, paint stratifications, traces of street culture replace the traditional setting. Olympus is transported into urban space.

The result is a temporal collision:
The Baroque mythology meets metropolitan aesthetics,
eternal power dialogues with contemporary identity,
art history opens to a current visual language.

The intervention does not erase the original work, but reactivates it, putting it in tension with the present and inviting the viewer to reread the codes of power, of the body, and of representation.

A dialogue between 17th-century Flemish painting and contemporary visual language, questioning power, authorship, and permanence
Slaski is an Italian digital artist; his works have been exhibited around the world, including at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and published in fashion, tattoo, and art magazines. He is known for his 360-degree digital technique, which he uses to create immersive and surreal images. His works explore themes such as nature, identity, and perception; he is an innovative and visionary artist contributing to defining the future of digital art.

“Art is not about representing new things, but representing them with novelty.”
