Bird Fish in White Marble

Bird fish in White Marble Dimensions: 33” x 27” x 8”
Material: Carrara White Marble

Karl Geckler’s Bird fish is an evocative sculpture-in-progress, carved from Carrara White Marble with dimensions of 33” x 27” x 8”. This striking piece seamlessly merges elements of air and water. Furthermore, capturing the fluid transformation between avian and aquatic forms. With its bold contours and dynamic interplay of curves and edges, explores themes of evolution, duality, and movement. With its sweeping lines and hybrid anatomy, the sculpture blurs the boundary between bird and fish, resulting in a form that feels both familiar and entirely new.

Bold contours and sweeping transitions define the structure, while subtle curvature and edge variation guide the viewer’s eye from one end to the other. The contrast between partially raw stone and highly refined surfaces underscores the duality that lies at the heart of the piece: the push and pull between wildness and control, nature and form, evolution and stillness.

As light interacts with the marble’s surface, its delicate veining adds depth and luminosity, reinforcing the sculpture’s ethereal quality. At the same time, its architectural presence keeps it grounded. Perfectly making it suitable for interior sculpture, gallery exhibitions, and hospitality art environments. The sculptural dialogue between polished and raw areas also reflects Karl Geckler’s interest in highlighting the process of making, not just the outcome.
