Title: Icona Instabile (after Giordano)
Year: 2026
Technique: digital intervention on a Baroque image, fine art print on museum paper
Uniqueness: one-of-a-kind work

⸻

Description

In this work, Slasky intervenes on a Luca Giordano composition, transforming it into a field of visual and political tension. The key element is the angelic figure, rewritten through Captain America’s iconography: the star-spangled chest and the 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 sacredness and propaganda coincide. It is no longer transcendence, but cultural construction.

The painted space is saturated with signs, inscriptions, and stratifications that evoke the language of global urban culture. The Baroque image is not denied, but destabilized: made unstable, fragile, and continually rewriteable.

The work situates itself within Slasky’s research into inherited images, transformed into contemporary relics traversed by 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 labour 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.
