Found Objects

Found Objects Dimensions: 22″ TALL
Material: Metal

Karl Geckler’s Found Objects is a raw and evocative industrial sculpture created from repurposed steel and salvaged materials. This one-of-a-kind piece celebrates the beauty of what is often overlooked—transforming the discarded and functional into something visually powerful and conceptually rich.

Assembled from elements pulled from the industrial world, Found Objects channels assemblage art traditions with a modern architectural edge. The sculpture juxtaposes solid structure with spontaneous form, telling a story of decay, survival, and reinterpretation. Each weld, seam, and surface irregularity is deliberate—offering not only visual texture but a sense of history embedded in each part.

The work’s angular geometry and layered construction draw the eye into its mechanical yet organic rhythm, emphasizing balance, fragmentation, and reinvention. Rusted finishes, polished accents, and patinaed details offer a dynamic interplay of materials that evolves with changing light and perspective.

Designed for contemporary interiors, urban lofts, public installations, or corporate lobbies seeking bold, industrial sophistication, Found Objects serves as both a sculptural focal point and a commentary on material culture. It’s a striking example of Karl Geckler’s ability to merge fine art with architectural energy, challenging viewers to see function as form.
