Title: Unstable Icon (after Giordano)
Year: 2026
Technique: digital intervention on Baroque image, fine art print on museum paper
Uniqueness: unique work

Description
In this work, Slasky intervenes on a composition by Luca Giordano, transforming it into a field of visual and political tension. The key element is the angelic figure, rewritten through the iconography of Captain America: the star-spangled chest and colors directly reference the American superhero, a symbol of power, ideology, and identity construction.
This overlay creates a visual and conceptual short circuit. The angel, once a figure of divine justice, becomes an ambiguous icon where sacred and propaganda coincide. It is no longer transcendence, but a cultural construct.
The pictorial space becomes saturated with signs, writings, and stratifications that recall the language of the global urban environment. The Baroque image is not denied, but destabilized: made unstable, fragile, continuously rewriteable.
The work situates itself within Slasky’s research on inherited images, transformed into contemporary relics steeped in conflict, memory, and power.

Artist Bio
Slasky (b. 1972, Italy) is a self-taught artist based in Artena, Rome. His work originates outside institutional structures, shaped by a background in manual labor that informs both the physicality and conceptual rigor of his practice.
Since 2015, he has developed an independent market across Europe and Asia, later evolving toward a research-driven and institutionally oriented approach.
His work has been exhibited internationally, including selection by the jury of the Rijksmuseum.
