Found Metal 3

Found Metal 3 Dimensions: 18” Tall
Material: Metal

Karl Geckler’s Found Metal is a bold industrial sculpture that transforms repurposed materials into an evocative work of contemporary art. Assembled from a selection of found steel and salvaged industrial components. This piece exemplifies Geckler’s ability to extract elegance and balance from raw, functional objects.

Found Metal captures the intersection of form, function, and material memory, since its built with a sculptor’s eye for composition and rhythm. Pipes, plates, and precision-cut steel elements are arranged in a seemingly improvised yet intentional construction. And, highlighting the energy and geometry embedded in forgotten parts of the industrial world.

Found Metal is ideal for modern interiors, loft-style spaces, or public art installations that seek work with a strong conceptual foundation. It’s equally at home in corporate environments that value sustainability, innovation, and a connection to material origins. Welds, seams, and raw edges are deliberately exposed, celebrating the integrity of process and the history of each element. Subtle variations in tone and reflectivity interact with light. This is to produce shadows that shift as the viewer moves, enhancing the dynamic quality of the piece.

Lastly, This sculpture serves not only as a visual centerpiece but also as a conversation between past utility and present creativity. A testament to Karl Geckler’s sculptural approach, where discarded materials are reimagined into lasting, expressive forms.
