Large Sandstone Wall Sculpture, Roger Guérin In Bouffioulx, Art Deco

Imposing stoneware wall composition with geometric reliefs, typical of the Art Deco style. The work features a deep black and blue glaze, enlivened by striking inlays of cast and crystallized glass in vibrant hues: cobalt blue, golden yellow, ruby red and emerald green. This piece is distinguished by the richness of its textures and the intensity of its palette, subtly playing between the opacity of the stoneware and the colored transparency of the glass. On the reverse, it bears the artist's stamp "Grès Guérin - Bouffioulx", as well as intaglio marks, testifying to its authenticity and provenance. A rare work, both sculptural and architectural, emblematic of Belgian ceramic know-how from the beginning of the 20th century. Perfect for a wall display, in a collector's interior or a space with a strong visual identity. Roger Guérin (1896-1954): Belgian representative of Art Deco ceramics, Roger Guérin was trained by Willem Delsaux, in his pottery L'Escarboucle, as well as during various stays in Sèvres. He enjoyed great success from 1919. He then contributed to the pediment of the Natural History Museum in Brussels, to the decorations of the Montparnasse station in Paris, as well as to the stairwell of the Palais de Justice in Charleroi.
