Kylo Chua


Kylo Chua is a modern sculpture artist whose work creates contemporary beauty through smooth, fluid curves of the abstracted human form. Recently, he has also included a swan in his body of work, but so far this is the only other form besides human. He enjoys how elusive and ambiguous abstract art can be and the way he feels that it conveys the human condition. All of his pieces have a similar flowing style that is extremely elegant and the crisp clean white finish gives them an eternal elegance.

Of his pieces my favorite is Aurora Australis because it reminds me of a sculpture that my parents have always had. I don’t know who the artist is that made theirs, it’s a lot more simple than Chua’s work, but has the same twisting and flowing style accompanied by a smooth white finish. Also, both sculptures are of a couple in an embrace. It brings warmth to my heart to see a piece that reminds me so much of home and the love that my parents share. Aurora Australis is beautiful from all angles; on Kylo Chua’s website you are able to see a 360 degree view. The way he creates the curves of the bodies and abstracts them into graceful outstretched waves leads the eye endlessly around the sculpture. Each of his pieces are balanced and poised.
