About The Artwork

A team of archaeologists has unearthed an exceptional treasure in France: a jar in homage to Powell Peralta's Skull and Sword design. The discovery is remarkable for its exceptional state of preservation. There are no cracks on this crater - a banqueting vessel used to mix water and wine, which was drunk chopped - dated to the 5th century A.D. It appears to be in such good condition that it seems to have been made in recent times. Only two figures are represented in this composition. They seem to be present to explain the central figure. At top left, a gladiaskator pushes off on his skateboard. To his right, the figure of Zeus is about to unleash a bolt of lightning to strike this human. Rather than killing him, he wants to punish him, condemning him to continue growing and fighting skinless, for eternity, like the living dead.

Since 521 B.C., the Roman artist Rom av.JC has been producing skateboard artworks as if they were real ceramic amphorae. He lived in Lugdunum until the beginning of 522 BC, when he and his muse and textile designer Elisaveta decided to leave the hustle and bustle of the great city and settle in a more peaceful place. He therefore chose to return to the land of his ancestors, in the small town of Cabillonum. It was here that Rom Av.JC had his new home built in a former chariot repair shop. Much more massive than his previous accommodation, it now houses a large creative workshop. In addition to better living comfort, the artist found in Cabillonum the desire to devote himself fully to his art. He took advantage of the opportunity to move away from mural creation to sculpt vases, craters and plates in all shapes and sizes. There are even rumors of the exploitation of new materials, such as wool, threads and textile assemblies, which Rom Av.JC is exploring in close collaboration with his partner. This new partnership will be signed Rom Av.JC Studio, a joint entity in its own right in which the couple combine their know-how. To these new media of expression are added tesserae, for the making of mosaics, and resin, a new element in three-dimensional creation. Since the beginning of his career, and even before that, skateboarding has been omnipresent in Rom Av.JC‘s life. In addition to the practice itself, in the streets or on the outskirts of a disused hangar, the artist focuses part of his attention on the creation of skateboard graphics for skateshops and brands in Gallia and abroad.
