Description from the seller
Original work titled « Truckus », created by the French artist Rom av.JC (Romain Hurdequint) from a transformed skateboard deck.
At the crossroads of contemporary sculpture, fictional archaeology, and skateboard culture, this creation reworks an iconic object from urban sports to give it the appearance of an ancient artifact.
Description of the work
« Truckus » is characterized by a long, symmetrical silhouette, whose widened ends are connected to a central rectangular body by two narrow, curved sections.
This singular form, obtained by cutting the skateboard, evokes as much a ritual object as an instrument or an archaeological vestige whose function would have been forgotten.
The surface of the work combines a grey-stained wood, revealing its natural grain, with large black fields and geometric ornaments.
Diamond motifs, symmetrical compositions, and a central frieze with vegetal shapes structure the whole. The skateboard's original drill holes remain visible, recalling the material's original function.
On the edges, the various layers of plywood are revealed, including a fine orange layer that contrasts with the sobriety of the surface.
The composition rests on a deliberately restrained palette: deep black, anthracite grey, and the natural tones of the wood.
A fictional archaeology of the skateboard
Rom av.JC develops an artistic universe in which objects and myths from Greco-Roman Antiquity meet skateboard culture.
From recycled boards, the artist imagines the vestiges of a fictional civilization that would have celebrated skateboarding as an ancient practice.
With « Truckus », the skateboard loses its usual shape and function to become an enigmatic sculptural object, whose motifs and silhouette seem to belong to an ancient tradition.
The work plays with the contrast between a contemporary material immediately recognizable and the appearance of an artifact unearthed from archaeological diggings.
A singular sculptural piece
Unlike a skateboard simply illustrated, « Truckus » presents a true transformation of the support.
The cut radically modifies the original silhouette, while painted surfaces and decorative motifs reinforce its new identity.
Visible wood layers on the edges, mounting holes, and material marks contribute to this aesthetics of reuse.
Designed to be presented as a work of art, this sculpture can find its place in a collection of contemporary art, Skate Art, or artistic objects inspired by Antiquity.
