"SLASKY", GIANLUCA PALONE (Artena, Rome, 1972). "Enjoy". Digital art. Giclèe on canvas. Edition 1/3 COA. Measurements: 47 x 94 cm. Slasky is an established Italian artist whose works have been presented in solo and group exhibitions internationally. Fascinated by the baroque painting of Caravaggio, Slasky creates classical artworks elaborated using digital art techniques. With his classical neo-urban style, he unites tradition and modernism, bringing the protagonists of the original artworks into modern-day social and artistic environments. By inserting the protagonists of the original works into contemporary social and artistic environments, he has created a series of pieces that send new messages and require a level of collaboration from the viewer to be understood. The works have an immediate sense of familiarity, but presented with an injection, sometimes explosion, of color and life that absorbs them with richness and modernity. In his canvases, details take center stage, using contrasting color techniques, textured backgrounds and silkscreens to create the same subject matter in a variety of ways, separating it from its traditional backgrounds.
