Exhibition Details

The sculptural art by Marius Ritiu titled Meteor Showers is on display at the Object with Narratives Gallery in Brussels, Belgium. The following is the narrative that accompanies the exhbition:
"Once upon a time, in a galaxy far beyond our own, there existed an advanced extraterrestrial civilisation known as the Zoraxians. These beings were highly skilled in the arts and had a deep appreciation for creativity and beauty. One day, the Zoraxians decided to share their artistic talents with the beings of Earth. They crafted exquisite copper sculptures that resembled meteors and sent them hurtling through the vast expanse of space towards our planet.
As the meteors entered Earth's atmosphere, they glowed with a mesmerising copper hue, catching the attention of astronomers and art enthusiasts alike. A few of these meteors landed in the heart of Brussels, Belgium, right inside Objects with Narratives Gallery.
The directors of the gallery, were stunned by the arrival of the mysterious copper sculptures. They immediately recognized their otherworldly beauty and knew that it was a gift from beyond the stars. Word spread quickly about the extraordinary meteor-turned- sculptures, drawing crowds of curious onlookers and art aficionados to the gallery. People marvelled at the intricate details of the Zoraxian craftsmanship, marvelling at the alien technology that had brought these masterpieces to Earth.
As days turned into weeks, the copper sculptures became a symbol of unity and wonder, bringing people from all walks of life together to appreciate the beauty of the cosmos. The Zoraxians' gift had not only enriched the art world but had also sparked a newfound sense of awe and connection among humanity. And so, the extraterrestrial civilisation's gesture of sending meteors as copper sculptures to an art gallery in Brussels, Belgium, left a lasting impression on Earth, reminding us of the boundless creativity and artistry that exists beyond our own world."
