The Celestial Seat by Marius Ritiu, Allienim One Of A Kind. Dimensions: D 180 x W 45 x H 90 cm. Materials: Wood and copper. The combination of copper and wood is creating a beautiful juxtaposition between the earthy and the ethereal. The copper represents the celestial element of the seat, while the wood would represent the earthly element. As a seat and a bench, the celestial seat would be both functional and artistic in nature. It would be a great addition to any indoor or outdoor space. One can imagine sitting on the celestial seat, surrounded by the beauty of the universe. Perhaps it would be adorned with small stars and constellations, to further evoke the feeling of being among the stars. Overall, the celestial seat is a stunning work of art that represents the wonder and awe of the cosmos. It capture the attention and imagination of anyone who saw it, and serve as a powerful conversation piece. Allienim The overall effect of this piece is nothing short of magical, combining the ancient history of dragons and turtles along with the unmatched beauty of copper and wood. It will transport you to a faraway place, yet tie you down to the present moment, where you will have the privilege of experiencing this truly sensational masterpiece. Our artworks are born from a fascination with the mysteries of the universe and the possibility of life beyond Earth. The objects depicted in our pieces are thought to have originated from different planets and remain unidentified to us humans. Through our creative interpretation, we aim to capture the otherworldly beauty of these heavenly artifacts and ignite curiosity in the minds of those who view them. Marius Ritiu My practice questions concepts such as nationhood, borders and nationalism, reflecting on global responsibility, collective consciousness, and citizenship, and suggesting the potential for immensely varied human experiences to unite. Instead of being celebrated, our differences are made into symbols and ideologies meant to divide; they are turned into borders. The perspective of those who’ve crossed a few is worth reflecting on and from, but it is the astronaut who is the true skeptic: no eye that looks ‘down’ on Earth from space can see such perverse dividing lines. Now, this outlook invites radical revisionism. I've been working a lot with copper, copper being the physical material that connects the world. Its incorporation into technology (communication, transport) has enabled and increased the mobility of ideas, goods, and people, impacting the nature and physicality of borders. It has become important to my work for both its physical and philosophical characteristics. In the classical world, alchemy associated seven metals with the planets (silver/Moon, mercury/Mercury, copper/Venus, gold/Sun, iron/Mars, tin/Jupiter, lead/Saturn). As one of these materials, copper has a direct association both with human history and the cosmos. I am using a technique called Repoussé, which does not require a highly equipped studio; rather it is more of a nomadic technique that I can use wherever I go, well-suited to my nomadic lifestyle. My own experience as a travelling artist and an immigrant, continuing crossing borders and witnessing variations in culture, religion, nation, race– undoubtedly informs and anchors my practice. But what it more importantly grounds is the quest essential to my work to comprehend and express the global through the local, the universal through the particular, the familiar through the alien. I believe that we are all connected. I consider myself not only a sculptor but also a storyteller, one who wishes to create somewhat open-ended tales, later finalized in the mind of the viewer.
