Otto

2023

22 x 17 x 11 ″

Stainless steel, with marble base

With its sleek, mirror-like finish, Otto exudes both elegance and a sense of abstraction that invites contemplation. The sculpture plays with light, form, and reflection, where the surrounding environment becomes part of the artwork itself. The central circular void seems to defy the solidity of the material, creating a tension between absence and presence. Koehler’s skill in manipulating metal to appear almost soft and malleable speaks to his mastery of form. This piece evokes a feeling of movement frozen in time, drawing on themes of transformation and the organic interplay between nature and the industrial.
