Slasky - L'Assunzione

Giclée on Hahnemuhle 350gsm + certificate of authenticity The Assumption of the First Date (Homage to Guido Reni and Pop Culture) This creation arises from a bold détournement operation, in which the sacred meets the profane in a vibrant and ironic dialogue. The compositional basis is a freer reinterpretation of the Baroque iconography of the Assumption (inspired by Guido Reni’s famous altarpiece), where the central figure of the Virgin, suspended among the clouds and surrounded by cherubs, is transposed into a new semantic universe. The original palette is twisted by a neon-pink lighting that invades the upper part of the painting. This acidic, modern light turns the divine aura into a kind of neon sign from a club or a contemporary photoshoot set. In stark contrast to the XVIIth-century painting style, the words "First Date" appear in a rounded, psychedelic font clearly inspired by the 1970s. The inscription is not just a title, but becomes the focal element that redefines the entire scene: spiritual ecstasy is reinterpreted as the euphoric, “celestial” emotion of a first romantic encounter. The painting plays on the exaggeration of feelings. If in the original seventeenth-century work the aim was to move the soul toward the infinite divine, here the tension is directed toward the hyper-romanticism of our times. It is a celebration of the sacredness of everyday life and of modern social rituals, treated with the same solemnity as a religious miracle. The work presents itself as a piece with strong impact, capable of attracting the gaze and sparking conversations, perfectly positioned within the tradition of New Pop Art. Slasky (b. 1972, Italy) is a self-taught artist working from Artena, Rome. His practice emerged from outside the institutional art system, a background in manual labour that informs both the materiality of his work and the precision of its conceptual framework. Active since 2015, he has built an independent market presence across Europe and Asia before undertaking a decisive shift toward institutional research practice. Selected Exhibitions (2015 — 2026) Institutional highlight: Long Live Rembrandt, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 2026. Work selected by the museum jury from thousands of international submissions for exhibition within the museum's permanent collection spaces. 15 July — 15 September 2019. 2026 * CI-AO 30 April - 28 May 2026 Via Del Vantaggio 28, Rome Piazza del Popolo * FACE2FACE Laundry Studios · 5 – 9 March 2026 ⸻ 2025 * Tokyo Open Art | Art on Loop Exhibition Tokyo · 12 – 16 September 2025 * Art Parallax London · 15 – 16 February 2025 ⸻ 2024 * Waterloo — Solo Exhibition Limassol · 10 – 20 December 2024 * ARTLAB 2024 Munich · 13 – 22 June 2024 * Must Be — Solo Exhibition Anemi, Limassol · 3 – 10 February 2024 * Contemporary Venice 2024 — 13th Edition — Solo Exhibition Venice · 12 – 15 January 2024 ⸻ 2023 * Time Is An Illusion / Le temps est une illusion Kramfors · 2 – 23 October 2023 ⸻ 2022 * (UN)FAIR — (UN)DISCOVERED ART Superstudio Maxi, Milan · 8 – 10 April 2022 ⸻ 2021 * MIA Fair 2021 Superstudio Maxi, Milan · 7 – 10 October 2021 * Lausanne Art Fair Lausanne · 30 September – 3 October 2021 * Lille Art Up!
