Kim De Ruysscher


The Belgian artist Kim De Ruysscher (Wilrijk, 1973) has lived and worked in The Hague since 2006. He makes marble sculptures by a classical method, but draws his inspiration from daily life. His theme at The Hague Sculpture 2010 is rest: people sitting in a sleeping bag or having a rest on a seat, a deserted table, pillows, a woman daydreaming. De Ruysscher has held expositions throughout the world and has won prizes in many countries, including the Netherlands, France, Spain, Finland, Canada and China.
