Kris Kuksi is one of my most favorite sculptors. Now that’s a pretty big claim as there are so many amazing sculptors throughout art history that fit into the realm of master sculptors. And Kris Kuksi falls comfortably within that category because of the sheer brilliance of his commentary and complexity of form within each and every piece that he creates. He takes a sculpture and puts in so many different dimensions, that they are like an opera captured in a moment of time and immortalized in form.
He’s known for his slightly dark, gothic themes, but he’s mostly known for his ability to make a social commentary with just a single sculpture. And the fact that he has made so many more shows just how passionate he is about the story of humanity and all of the forces that move it. If you want to see an artist who only produces masterpieces, well, Kris Kuksi should be one of your selections. Because what he does is unique, inspirational, and thought-provoking. You’ll be staring so long at the details that you won’t realize the depth of message embodied in each work until you step back and look at it as a whole. And keep checking in because he’s always creating.
