Handle with Care by Slasky
Handle with Care juxtaposes the elegance of classical portraiture with a meaningful contemporary message. On this Renaissance-inspired face, a bright yellow stripe reading “Handle with Care” obscures the sitter’s eyes, transforming a delicate image into a visual manifesto. The irony of this message, usually intended for fragile objects, here finds a human resonance, evoking vulnerability and the need to preserve what is precious.
The elaborate headdress and richly crafted ruff recall the painterly tradition of the Old Masters, while the bold band invites the viewer to reflect on the tensions between fragility and strength. The composition is both poetic and striking, blending timeless beauty with modern critique.
This unique piece, printed on Hahnemühle paper in a 50x50 cm format and available in a limited edition of 5, is offered for €800.00. Add to your collection a work that combines depth and provocation, and let Handle with Care become the starting point for captivating conversations.
