Rocking Chair IV
MARIUS RITIU
2024
Hand-Hammered Copper, Patina, Microcrystalline Wax
H 72 x L 153 x W 54 cm
Unique piece
Rocking Chair IV continues Marius Ritiu’s exploration of transforming metal into forms that evoke something primordial and archaeological. Hand-hammered from copper, the piece resembles a meteorite fragment or an ancient artefact, combining a sense of mass with a fluid sculptural presence.
The patinated copper, marked by deep blue tones, emphasises the textured relief of the surface, while polished sections introduce a contrast between raw materiality and reflective finish. Despite its monumental appearance, the work maintains a balance between sculpture and functional object.
Ritiu’s process relies on direct manual metalworking with a minimal set of tools, giving each work a strong sense of physical gesture and material singularity.
