Description from the seller
Dea Athena – Rom av.JC – Original artwork on skateboard
Dea Athena is an original work created in 2024 by the French artist Rom av.JC (Romain Hurdequint), from an old damaged skateboard deck, restored and transformed into an artistic medium.
Inspired by the iconography of ancient Greece, this creation represents Athena, goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, the arts and crafts.
Her portrait, painted in black on natural wood, adopts the codes of ancient representations. The goddess wears a richly decorated helmet, topped with an equine figure, whose graphic details recall classical engravings.
The lower part of her face is crossed by a significant zone of damaged wood restored with resin. This intervention reveals red fragments from the original board, creating a contrast between the precision of the drawing and the irregularities of the material.
These traces, intentionally preserved, evoke the gaps and restorations of archaeological relics. They bear witness to the skateboard's former life and fully contribute to the artwork's identity.
Through his universe of fictional archaeology, Rom av.JC transforms used skateboards into contemporary relics, blending ancient mythology, urban culture, and the reuse of materials.
Characteristics:
Artist: Rom av.JC (Romain Hurdequint)
Title: Dea Athena
Year: 2024
Technique: acrylic painting and resin restoration on wood
Support: recycled old skateboard deck

Condition and particularities:
Work created from an old skateboard bearing traces of its past use.
The lower part of the face includes a substantial resin restoration, intentionally left visible. Color variations, wood marks, and surface irregularities are an integral part of the artistic approach.
Detailed photographs permit observation of the different textures and interventions carried out on the support.
This piece is intended for exhibition and collection, and not for skateboard practice.
Original signed work intended for collectors of contemporary art, skate art, and works inspired by Antiquity.
Shipping with protective packaging suitable for an art object.
