Slasky (1972) - COPY/LOSS No.1

Giclée on Hahnemühle 350gsm + certificate of authenticity Copy/Loss No.1 Limited edition of 5, 2026 | Diptych, 75 × 55 cm In Copy/Loss No.1 the artist reflects on the loss of the aura of the iconic image in the era of infinite reproduction. The diptych presents a double Marilyn Monroe: on the left the image explodes into saturated pop colors (magenta, cyan and green on a turquoise background), still powerful and seductive; on the right the same figure gradually dissolves into an evanescent grayscale scale, almost disappearing. Through this transition from maximum saturation to disappearance, the work shows how every copy does not preserve but consumes the original. Marilyn becomes a symbol of the fragility of contemporary icons: the more they are reproduced, the more they lose identity and authority. Part of the Archive Failure series, Copy/Loss No.1 is an elegy to the decay of the image in the age of post-reproduction. An iconic face is duplicated until it loses stability. The Pop image, born to be eternal and instantly recognizable, is split between presence and dissolution. On one side the glossy surface of media culture survives; on the other emerges a worn, unstable, almost ghostly copy. The work does not celebrate the icon. It observes its erosion through repetition, transforming the portrait into an archival artifact of collective memory. "Art is not about representing new things, but about representing them with novelty" Slasky is a renowned Italian artist whose works have been shown in solo and group exhibitions internationally. The artist has the ability to fuse classical artworks with techniques of contemporary digital art. With his classic neo-urban style, he combines tradition and modernity, bringing the protagonists of original artworks into contemporary social and artistic environments. 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!
