Kurt Kieffer is a sculptor based in Colorado Springs, whose art reflects his unique life experiences and artistic vocabulary.  Kurt developed his creativity during his early years while working on a farm in Ohio. Limited means necessitated that he find imaginative ways, utilizing a variety of available materials to perform everyday repairs for machinery and structures. Later, his work at public defender offices and homeless shelters gave him insight into people’s desires, fears, anxieties, motivations, and hardships. These insights compelled him to grow and obtain a better understanding of human nature, social issues, and the human condition. His sculptures reflect the accumulation of his experiences. Kurt has exhibited his work in galleries throughout the United States, including Seattle, Chicago, and Los Angeles. He also owned and operated Gallery 40 in Chicago, where he showcased the works of emerging and established artists. Kurt studied figure sculpture at the Seattle Academy of Fine Art and is a graduate of DePaul University.

“As an artist, my sculptures embody my life experiences and personal vocabulary. Through my sculptures, I capture the fluid motion and intricate details of the world around me using a variety of woods, stains, and metals. In creating these works, I explore significant life events that have enabled, caused, or forced meaningful positive personal growth.  Each sculpture is a physical manifestation of past inflection points that catalyzed my own development. My goal is to create pieces that evoke emotions and inspire viewers to reflect on instances in their own lives that have enabled them to become better versions of themselves.” – Kurt Kieffer
