Alle Auktionen / Zeitgenössische Kunst / Slasky - Made In Europe
Made in Europe (Ratto d’Europa) – Francesco Podesti / Slasky In the contemporary remake of the famous Ratto d’Europa, Slasky replaces Jupiter’s pristine bull with an inflatable cow with disproportionately large udders and a visible inflation valve. The operation is not merely parodic, but acts as an X-ray of the myth and its distorted persistence in the European imagination. If in Ovid the metamorphosis of Jupiter is the supreme act of divine power, here the transformation becomes an act of consumption, reversible, fragile, temporary. The inflatable object — a symbol of serial production, mass tourism, the continent’s “pop” rhetoric — replaces mythical flesh with synthetic plastic and compressed air. The inscription Made in Europe – Inflate Responsibly introduces a metaeconomic and identitarian commentary: contemporary Europe is no longer abducted, but self-inflated, a prisoner of its own productive myth and the illusion of infinite expansion. The scene remains suspended between the grotesque and the sublime: the cupids keep firing arrows, but they strike a PVC simulacrum; the princess maintains her elegant gesture, but her mount is a toy, a consumerist fetish of the civilization of consumption. Slasky, as in many of his iconic rewritings, does not destroy the classical myth — he empties it, literally, of air. What remains is a shiny, inflatable, transparent surface: the thin skin of contemporary Europe, fragile and in constant danger of deflating. Giclee on Hahnemuhle 350g + certificate of authenticity « Art is not about representing new things, but representing them with novelty » Slasky is a renowned Italian artist whose works have been exhibited in solo and group shows internationally. The artist has the ability to fuse works of art classical with techniques of contemporary digital art.
