Artwork location: France

During the latest preventive excavations, carried out as part of the conversion of Clermont-Ferrand's Hôtel-Dieu hospital, archaeologists unearthed 4 ancient skateboard boards in a remarkable state of preservation.

These finds reveal an interesting link between the city of Augustonemetum and the Olympic Games in 27 BC. Already at this time, the Olympic flame had to cross the city, carried by gladiaskateurs (one of whom, incidentally, is depicted in a medallion on the Dea Hera plate) who had to travel on their skates. That's why the four gods most celebrated at Olympia are depicted on it.

The Games honored Zeus, the supreme god of the Greek pantheon, as well as his wife Hera, the goddess of victory Athena and the god of music Apollo. For, in the beginning, the Olympic Games celebrated not only sporting activity, but also art and music.

Rom av J.C, Skateboard

Presentation

With a board under his feet since he was 14 years old, Romain Hurdequint discovers through skateboarding graphics, a passion for art. In 2011, he decided to document in a blog all the artistic potential that skateboard offers. Ten years later, THE DAILY BOARD is still read by several thousands of visitors every month and has become a reference.

In 2018, Romain undertook the writing of an anthology entitled Skate Art: From the Object to the Artwork, published by Cercle d'Art. This anthology is found distributed all over the world, including in the prestigious museums of New York, the MOMA and the MET.

Committed to democratizing this new art to the general public, Romain organized several exhibitions in Lyon and Bordeaux. First Inking Board, for which he invited tattoo artists to cut the skin to paint on a diptych of skateboards, then Spraying Board, where street art meets skateboard. For both concepts, the entrepreneur provides the mediums with their wall hangings. The whole thing is branded Tigerclaw Supplies, a new brand on the skateboard scene of which he is the co-founder.

Rom av J.C is the artistic alter ego of Romain Hurdequint.

Armed with spray cans, acrylic, Posca or clay, he reinvents the representations of ancient leisure activities. Placing the skateboard at the heart of gladiatorial combat or the first events of the Olympic Games, the artist rewrites the history of this discipline. Shaped like jars with Greco-Roman motifs, the boards bear witness to the practice of skateboarding at a time when the city of Lyon was known as Lugdunum.
