Skillfully sculpting marble, Kim De Ruysscher works in an assertive neo-classicism representing all the everyday objects: toilet paper, piece of polystyrene, inflatable canoe, football ball or bow tie.
Going beyond hyper-realism by the quality of his sculpture, the artist wants to change the perception of the representation of reality, using effects of matter and weight.
In this work of sculpture, there is the art of sublimating the banal in order to express the durability of the object and its part of inherent “religiosity”.
