Kym Ellery (b. April, 1983, Perth, Western Australia)

Kym Ellery is a Paris-based artist and designer working at the intersection of sculpture, furniture, and collectible objects. Born into a creative household in Perth, Western Australia, she was accepted into university to study architecture but chose instead to pursue design as an autodidact, eventually relocating to Paris in 2015. There, she developed a practice centred on metal; inox, brass, and metallic resin; materials she has long explored through design and jewellery within her brand ELLERY.

Since 2023, Ellery has focused on producing sculptural works whose physical presence is softened by fluid curves and refined surfaces. Seats, kinetic sculptures, and candelabrums seem barely placed on the ground, on the verge of levitation. The shapes are wide, enveloping. To this softness, these meditative works of art add the projection of a point of agreement that seems to reach your heart to perhaps calm it better. Her objects articulate gravity, balance, and emotional resonance, drawing on a deep understanding of the body while suggesting spaces of stillness, rest, and contemplation.
