Jean Guy GIRARD (CAN) (b. 1953 -)
Jean Guy GIRARD est un Artisan (et Artiste !)
canadien du Québec créant de merveilleux jeux
d'Échecs grandeur nature. La manière dont il
travaille les bois, venant des grandes forêts
canadiennes, ainsi que l'inspiration médiévale de
ses créations, lui méritent une reconnaissance
internationale, et nous sommes heureux si nous
y contribuons modestement en vous faisant
goûter et apprécier les images qui vont suivre !
Jean Guy GIRARD is a Canadian Craftsman
(and Artist!), from Quebec, creating marvellous
Chess Tables and Sets full size. The way in
which he works woods, coming from great
Canadian forests, like the Medieval inspi-
ration of his creations, deserve to him an
international recognition, and we are happy
if we might modestly contribute to this by
making you taste and appreciate following
beautiful images! See equally the link:

Comment of Éric Fréchette (Historian)

• Comment of Éric Fréchette (Historian):
Quant à l'aspect «médiéval» de votre jeu, il conviendrait
de dire qu'il est ce que nous appelons d'«inspiration
médiévale». Cela n'étant pas une question d'esthétique,
bien au contraire, mais plutôt d'authenticité historique.
Dans le cas présent, les formes plutôt élancées de vos
chaises ainsi que leurs dossiers partiellement ajourés
donnent une impression de XVIe siècle. Cela est aussi
vrai à cause du mode de construction de vos sièges, qui
forment des meubles en soi et non multifonctionnels comme
au moyen âge. En fait, même les trônes servaient aussi de
coffres et leurs dossiers étaient amovibles, cela explique
l'origine du mot «meuble» ou «mobilier», ces derniers
suivant leur propriétaire dans ses déplacements (ce qui
ne serait pas pratique avec vos créations).
Autre point qui rend vos créations un brin anachroniques,
aussi étrange que cela paraisse, c'est leur trop grande
perfection. La symétrie, la régularité des tours ainsi que
la finesse des clous (ou rivets) sont tels qu'il aurait été
impossible de les réaliser sans l'aide d'outils modernes. Le
Moyen âge a produit de très belles pièces, mais il se trouvait
toujours quelques défauts qui trahissaient la main de
l'homme.
Cela dit, je vous félicite à nouveau pour votre travail et
je suis convaincu qu'aucun médiéviste, puriste ou non, ne
refuserait de jouer sur un tel plateau. Je vous souhaite de
l'utiliser assez souvent pour que vos efforts en soient
récompensés.
