Slasky is an Italian contemporary artist based in Rome, active since 2015. His practice moves between conceptual research, analog collage, and digital work, with a consistent focus on the friction between historical imagery and mass-market visual culture. His work operates through juxtaposition rather than manipulation — placing fragments from different visual regimes in direct physical or compositional contact, without mediation or expressive gesture. The result is cold, precise, and structurally deliberate: objects and images that carry the weight of their original context while being irrevocably altered by proximity to one another. Slasky’s ongoing series After Iconography brings Baroque and Renaissance painting into contact with commercial editorial material — Playboy, Vogue, luxury brand identities — housed in original period frames. His readymade series Beni di Prima Necessità (Goods of First Necessity) presents everyday objects as contemporary relics, structured across three temporal strata of Italian social history. Represented by Bel-Air Fine Art. Listed on Artsper. In 2019, jury-selected by the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam for the international exhibition Long Live Rembrandt.
