Kue King Lighting
Filipino, b. 1981
Kue King (b. 1981) took to art as his first language. As a 6-year-old Filipino immigrant, Kue struggled between his old and new language. As he got older he found his true language in art. Creating gave him the voice he needed to be understood.
Kue found mentors in both blacksmithing and interior design. Kue’s early mentors nurture his sole dedication to his craft with opportunities in design, fabrication, and teaching him what it takes to be an exemplary artist.

The simplicity of wire and the utility of sacred intersection of line and curve inspires Kue to build his art. His travels take him to the far reaches of the earth to explore life, design, and architecture. Through his study of design, Kue seeks to build art that is easy to live with. His sculpture breaks the cycle of mundane daily chaos into a cycle of tranquility and constant inspiration.
Through his craft, Kue breathes sacredness into the fibers of his sculpture, creating work with vibration and resonance. He believes that through art humans can reach divinity.
“Artistry and magic, the embedding of emotion by forming tangible objects is my meditative technical process. There is a moment when what I create reaches a point so true to my vision that in that very tiny little fragment of time, a feeling of perfection is achieved.
A recent personal experience: Fingers tying and twisting away over the last few bundles on a special piece I’ve been working on since winter. Looking down over my work, my eyes cloud over and I see droplets falling through metal branches. I was with nature at the moment and time stood still. I don’t know where it came from, but in that portal marked a personal evolution. Great works of art are forever embedded with gratitude.
When I place work in gorgeous homes, they are transformed into symbolic representation of the collectors lives. My work has its own destiny. I have been gifted years of self-exploration and time to create art for arts sake. Now, I feel that the work is the process, and then it’s free to live its own story. I am simply a vessel, dancing with muses to create pieces that honor such times as the crossing over of a loved-one, beating a deadly illness, a marriage, or a new child. Often the work holds such intentions. I am honored to grow into the long-standing tradition of the sacredness in art. And these experiences make it all worth it.”1
