Slasky - Amor Vincitore

LOVE CONQUEROR – After Orazio Riminaldi
Original reinterpretation by Slasky

Inspired by the famous Amor Vincitore by Orazio Riminaldi (Pisa, 1593–1630), this work is conceived as a contemporary reactivation of a masterpiece of Italian Baroque.

In the seventeenth-century painting, Love triumphs over the arts, over weapons, and over earthly knowledge.
In this reinterpretation, the triumph becomes ambiguous, urban, nocturnal.

The angelic figure is transported to the present: the body becomes a narrative surface, pierced by tattoos that replace the traditional symbolic attributes; Caravaggesque light gives way to a violet neon atmosphere; the overlaid message — “IT’S NOT LOVE I’M JUST DRUNK” — undercuts the rhetoric of absolute love, turning the victory into excess, disorientation, contemporary confession.

The work dialogues with the Italian Baroque tradition, preserving the chiaroscuro power and the theatrical pose, but subverting the meaning:
not a moral allegory anymore, but an disenchanted icon of contemporary culture.

This inquiry sits within Slasky’s artistic path, already presented on the occasion of Wopart Art Fair 2019 at the Lugano Exhibition Centre (a different work from the present).
