Kue King Furniture
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.
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.”37

27"x27" Stainless Steel Wall Sculpture. #197
By Kue King
Located in Blowing Rock, NC
Measures: 27" x 27" x 3"
Stainless steel.
This accent wall sculpture is created using stainless steel wire. Use multiple pieces to create a large installation or to surround a feature.
The polished stainless steel gives the sculpture a shine, reflectivity, and mirrored finish that adds sparkle to the room and picks up on colors that surround the piece. Metal reflections highlight the feathery radius and create gentle shadows that deepen and project the sculpture into the wall. The radiating central bundles create a kaleidoscopic shadow effect that changes with viewing angle and lighting. Brightly lit, drama and strength dominates through reflection and shadow. By lowering the lighting the same piece becomes soft and alluring.
Kue uses pliers to cut hundreds of wire strands and then ties them together using thin brass wire to form bundles. These bundles are woven together in a mirrored way to build the strength and structure of the piece. Moving outward in process, each reflection becomes unique yet similar. The radiating branches flow outward, intersecting and spreading until the sculpture is complete.
Kue uses an aesthetic reminiscent of trees, electricity, and light to create sculptures of peace and beauty. Adults and children alike see snowflakes, trees, flowers, ocean creatures, a twinkling jewel. His work has been compared to the tied wire sculptures of Ruth Asawa and the wall mounted sculptures of Curtis Jere due to their style, shine, and placement similarities.
Answers to common questions:
- Each work can be hung horizontally or vertically.
- You are working directly with the artist and his partner, not a gallery.
- His full collection is on 1stdibs. Full commissions are possible but rare.
- The material, size, and patina are customizable, but it takes time.
- All sculptures are suitable for indoors or outdoors.
- They are lightweight for a metal sculpture, comparable in weight to a similar sized mirror and just as easy to hang.
Acquiring a Kue King sculpture is an event like no other. Some collectors know just what they want and buy immediately. With others we arrange a video chat or phone call to talk about art, get to know each other, and review your placements and sculpture interests. It’s up to you.
Kue says, ”My work is painstakingly birthed out of me with all I know of beauty. They are my meditations, my passion, my babies. When they find the right collector and home, they shine and radiate a new vibration that is in tune with its new environment.”
