In defending the significance of digital art, Slasky has become one of the most influential artists in this genre. Extremely reserved, he works from Rome, Italy, where he creates most of his pieces. His work is a fusion of urban influences and contemporary pop art, in which he represents the icons of this century and those that make up significant moments in history.
His portfolio of works includes a wide range of contemporary styles: graffiti, street art, pop, contemporary digital art and mixed media collages. Working on some of the world’s most recognisable images gives his pieces an instant sense of familiarity, but because they are presented with an explosion of colour and life they gain a unique richness and modernity. By merging classic art works with contemporary digital art techniques, Slasky transports the art into our present time. By placing the original artwork’s protagonists into contemporary social and artistic environments, he created a number of pieces that send new messages and require a level of collaboration from the viewer in order to be understood.
His reinterpretations of classic art, as well as modern photography, are collected all over the world.
