Sanglier stylisé en pierre bleue, crête taillée en lames serrées

Le sanglier est réduit à quelques plans : une hure allongée aux yeux mi-clos incisés d'un trait, un groin épais, deux oreilles dressées, une panse ronde posée sur des pattes en blocs. Le long de l'échine, la crête se déploie en lames serrées, taillées comme les dents d'un peigne. La pierre, d'un gris bleuté, reste mate ; sa surface, finement travaillée, laisse paraître de petites marques pâles qui accrochent la lumière de biais. Sur une patte, une fine ligne sombre et dentelée, veine de la pierre ou fissure, reste à examiner. La silhouette est ample, le volume plutôt étroit.

Le nom de Marc Verdoodt accompagne la pièce, sans source qui la documente ; une patte porte un monogramme incisé, qui pourrait se lire MV, sans lien établi avec certitude. La sculpture se lit donc d'abord par sa matière. La pierre bleue est un calcaire à crinoïdes, gris-bleu à l'état brut, presque noire une fois polie, et c'est la première de ces teintes que montre ici la surface. Elle est exploitée industriellement depuis 1668 autour de Soignies et d'Écaussinnes, de Tournai et d'Antoing. Au Moyen Âge déjà, les fonts baptismaux de Tournai partaient vers toute l'Europe. L'œuvre est datée des années 1980 et 1990.

Read in English

The boar is reduced to a few planes: a long head with half-closed eyes incised in a single line, a heavy snout, two upright ears, a rounded belly set on block legs. Along the spine the crest unfolds in tight blades, cut like the teeth of a comb. The stone, a bluish grey, stays matt; its finely worked surface shows small pale marks that catch the light at an angle. On one leg, a fine dark jagged line, a vein in the stone or a crack, remains to be examined. The silhouette is broad, the volume rather narrow.

The name Marc Verdoodt accompanies the piece, with no source documenting it; one leg bears an incised monogram that could read MV, with no link established with certainty. The sculpture is therefore read first through its material. Blue stone is a crinoidal limestone, blue-grey when raw and almost black once polished, and it is the first of these tones that the surface shows here. It has been quarried industrially since 1668 around Soignies and Écaussinnes, Tournai and Antoing. As early as the Middle Ages, the baptismal fonts of Tournai travelled across Europe. The work is dated to the 1980s and 1990s.

Sources and points to validate
  • La pierre bleue est un calcaire à crinoïdes, gris-bleu brut et presque noir poli, exploité industriellement depuis 1668 autour de Soignies-Écaussinnes et Tournai-Antoing ; les fonts baptismaux de Tournai ont été exportés en Europe au Moyen Âge. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petit_granit
To be validated
  • Auteur non identifié avec certitude : un Marc Verdoodt, sculpteur de Comines, travaille la pierre bleue (L'Avenir, 2024) et un Marc Verdoodt est cité pour des sculptures abstraites belges des années 1980 en Noir de Mazy ; rien ne prouve qu'il s'agisse du même artiste ni de cette pièce, et aucune source ne mentionne un sanglier.
  • Titre et tirage non indiqués ; un monogramme incisé, lisible peut-être MV, figure sur une patte, sans attribution certaine.
  • Nature exacte de la pierre (pierre bleue de Belgique, autre calcaire) selon la fiche ; finition polie ou brute non précisée.
  • Dimensions sans unité dans la fiche, entendues en centimètres.
  • Attribution publiée par la Galerie des Minimes, validation indépendante non réalisée.
