Artwork location: Sweden

The artwork presents a striking juxtaposition of classical and modern elements in a vibrant and compelling composition. At its heart is a rendition of the iconic painting "Napoleon Crossing the Alps," originally by Jacques-Louis David. This classic image, epitomizing power and determination, showcases Napoleon astride a rearing white horse, his red cape billowing dramatically behind him. The historical gravitas of this central figure is starkly contrasted with the modern overlay of graffiti and street art elements that surround and partially obscure it. Bold, colorful graffiti tags and street art motifs dominate the background, infusing the piece with a contemporary urban vibe. Words, symbols, and abstract shapes, rendered in vigorous strokes and varying hues, fill the space, injecting an energetic and rebellious spirit. The overlay creates a dynamic tension between the historical and the contemporary, challenging the viewer to reconcile these disparate time periods and styles. This fusion of old and new is not just superficial. It speaks to the timelessness of the quest for power and glory, while also questioning the role of historical figures and events in today's cultural landscape. Furthermore, by enveloping Napoleon in modern graffiti, the artist effectively democratizes the image, making it accessible and relevant to current audiences. Colors are used thoughtfully; the bright reds of the graffiti echo Napoleon's cape, while darker shades provide depth and contrast, enhancing the three-dimensional illusion. The meticulous detailing of Napoleon and his horse contrasts with the raw, unrefined texture of the graffiti, emphasizing the deliberate stylistic mixture. Overall, this artwork masterfully blends classical artistry with modern critique, creating a piece that is as thought-provoking as it is visually captivating. It boldly invites dialogue on the intersection of history, art, and contemporary culture, making a powerful statement through its unique and engaging presentation.

Slasky, Beautiful Chaos
Italy

Presentation

Working from Rome in Italy, Slasky's work is a fusion of urban influences and classic contemporary pop art in which he represents the icons of this century and those that make significant moments from history. The style is very personal working from some of the world's most recognisable images. The works have an instant sense of familiarity, but presented with an injection, sometimes explosion of colour and life that absorbs them with richness and modernity. Details are thrust front and centre in his canvases, using techniques of contrasting colours, textured backgrounds and screen prints to create the same subject in varying guises, separating them from their traditional backdrops.



I do not seek to represent new things, but to represent with novelty.
