Dominique Kleiner - Échiquier d’art “Hermès – Bleu Impérial” – N°1/30 – Plateau aluminium 40 × 40 cm KLEINER Dominique

HERMÈS BLUE IMPERIAL

Contemporary Art Chessboard – Limited Edition No. 1/30

WHEN ART, LUXURY, AND POETRY MEET

French artist KLEINER Dominique presents an original creation where the elegance of the great Parisian houses meets the richness of decorative arts and the fascinating world of chess.

Titled “Hermès Imperial Blue,” this art chessboard captivates at once with its singular aesthetics, refined chromatic harmonies, and remarkable artisanal craftsmanship.

The intense blue of the board, the ivory hues of the squares, and the subtle gold accents create a composition of great elegance.

At the center, a majestic jellyfish with fluid and airy movements extends its tentacles among delicate flowers and arabesques. This poetic, almost dreamlike composition adds an unexpected artistic dimension to this object traditionally associated with strategy and reflection.

A meeting of Parisian elegance, marine imagination, and contemporary art.

32 SCULPTURAL PIECES – REMARKABLE HAND-CRAFTED FINISH

The 32 chess pieces are made of resin, then carefully painted and patinated by hand in the artist’s workshop.

Their Baroque-inspired aesthetic is characterized by extraordinary ornamental richness: carved scrolls, foliage, delicate reliefs, crowns, and architectural details.

Two refined finishes respond to each other:

The patinated turquoise blue, luminous and deep, is enhanced with bronze nuances and antique gold that highlight the finest reliefs.

The antique ivory, delicately highlighted with gold patinas, evokes the nobility of historical sculptures and collectible art objects.

Each piece benefits from meticulous painting and patination work, requiring patience, precision, and a sense of detail.

These artisanal finishes confer on the whole a distinctive character, far from the aesthetics of classic industrial boards.

A PLATEAU IN ALUMINIUM – A TRUE ARTISTIC COMPOSITION

The 40 × 40 cm board, made of aluminum, hosts an original composition dominated by blue and ivory nuances.

The central illustration, inspired by deep seas and organic forms, transforms the checkerboard into a fully fledged decorative artwork.

The inscriptions HERMÈS and PARIS, as well as references to the equestrian world, contribute to this artistic interpretation inspired by the codes of French luxury.

The union of aluminum’s modernity and the antique look of the sculpted pieces creates a particularly elegant contrast.
