Talented American artist and sculptor Kris Kuksi was born on March 2, 1973, in Springfield, Missouri. Kris Kuksi garners recognition and acclaim for the intricate sculptures that result from his unique and meticulous technique. Each sculpture embodies the trademarks of his philosophy and practice. From timeless iconic references of Gods and Goddess, to challenging ideas of organized religion and morality.

In personal reflection, Kris feels that in the world today much of mankind is oftentimes frivolous and fragile, being driven primarily by greed and materialism.

A post-industrial Rococo master, Kris Kuksi obsessively arranges characters and architecture in asymmetric compositions with an exquisite sense of drama.

Kuksi cuts and reshapes old objects, small toys, mechanical components and other parts and refashions them into works of art that bear little resemblance to the original appearance. A wide range of materials are utilized, including model parts, wood and metal.
