KYLE MONTGOMERY

Australian artist Kyle Montgomery is best known for his mesmerizing Crystal Mary sculptures which he constructs using crystal and antique religious figurines depicting Mother Mary. His ethereal works combine Catholic iconography and new-age spirituality and address notions of reincarnation, protection, rebirth, and the afterlife. 

 

“The work is not an expression of a particular conviction, nor a definitive question, but rather a display of broad, openminded and unrestricted wondering. The ambiguity of meaning in Kyle’s work spurs a questioning in his viewers, a search for something solid. That concrete answer is never provided through the art (or the interview), and it is perhaps this which gives his art such an inexplicable draw and power.” - VICE interview 

 

Montgomery continues to receive worldwide recognition for his sculptures and has exhibited his works internationally for over a decade.
