Description:

This striking mid-century modern ceramic wall plaque depicts the legendary giant, Rollarius of Roeselaere. Crafted with expressive artistry by Rogier Vandeweghe for the renowned Belgian studio Perignem in the 1950s, the piece embodies the bold, sculptural aesthetic of the era. The figure is rendered with a powerful sense of presence, from the coiled texture of its hair and beard to the meticulously patterned, almost chain-mail-like surface of its tunic. A vibrant, high-gloss red glaze highlights the flowing folds of the cape, offering a dramatic contrast to the earthy, textured finish of the rest of the form. The geometric pattern of the lower half of the figure adds a dynamic, modernist touch, while the piece's monumental scale and rustic elegance make it a quintessential example of Perignem's celebrated contribution to 20th-century ceramic art.
