Big Beat by Ekkehard Altenburger, Portuguese Estremos Marble, Blue Kilkenny Limestone, Oak base, 131 cm high × 52 cm wide, Unique

Ekkehard Altenburger’s Big Beat presents a bold sculptural statement, showcasing the artist’s skilful fusion of architecture, geology, and minimalist design. Altenburger carves the piece from Portuguese Estremos marble and Blue Kilkenny limestone, deliberately contrasting light and dark tones, polished and rough textures, and sharp geometry with organic mass. He selects these materials for their rich historical and geological significance, imbuing the sculpture with both timeless elegance and commanding physical presence.

The composition pulses with rhythm and tension, echoing the energy suggested by its title, Big Beat. Altenburger carefully balances the contrasting stones, shaping each element with precision. The sculpture invites viewers to move around it, revealing shifting perspectives and spatial relationships that unfold through its geometric structure.

A solid oak base grounds the work, adding warmth and reinforcing the natural interplay between wood and stone. As a one-of-a-kind piece, Big Beat engages viewers both visually and conceptually. It exemplifies Altenburger’s sculptural philosophy where material, form, and space converge in a quiet but powerful dialogue.
