Farfalle Bronze Sculpture on Black Granite Base
Farfalle Bronze Sculpture Dimensions: 12” x 15” x 13”
Material: Bronze casting of an original stone carving
Farfalle by Chicago sculptor Karl Geckler is a compelling bronze sculpture that brings organic playfulness and sculptural refinement into balance. This piece is a bronze casting of one of Geckler’s original stone carvings. Additionally, it is reimagined in metal to preserve its flowing form and expressive curves. Inspired by the distinctive shape of farfalle pasta shape—Italian for “butterfly”—the sculpture explores symmetry, tension, and movement through a minimalist, architectural lens.
As light glides over its curves, subtle highlights and shadows animate the form—giving the piece a sense of motion and life. The sculpture is mounted to a honed black granite base using two hidden threaded rods. This is providing both stability and a striking material contrast. You can easily remove the sculpture from the base for transport or relocation without compromising the integrity of the design.
Lastly, whether placed in a curated interior, on a pedestal in a gallery, or as part of a hospitality art installation, Farfalle adds a sculptural elegance rooted in both concept and craftsmanship. And, its compact form and thoughtful design make it ideal for collectors seeking bronze art sculpture that is both modern and timeless.
