Catalog of an exhibition held at Beeldengalerij Het Depot, Wageningen, Netherlands, June 14, 2020-January 31, 2021.

What is special about Kim Kroes' oeuvre is that he only makes torsos? Women's torsos. Woman is the center of the universe. The torso is the most beautiful part of the body. That's more fascinating than a whole figure. I prefer to make something that is partly anatomy, partly shape. In my sculptures I try to turn abstraction into organic forms, so that it evokes passion and eroticism. This is how you bring tension into an image.' In this monograph, which appears at the solo exhibition of sculptor Kim Kroes, the artist himself also speaks. This monograph is more about the man Kim Kroes and his motives, ambitions and ideas. How does he view art, what are his sources of inspiration and why does he find women the universe of the world. Who's his real muse? What is the incarnated energy in his images, an energy that floats around his images like an aura. Exhibition: Villa Hinkeloord from Beeldengalerij Het Depot, Wageningen, The Netherlands (14.06.2020 - 31.01.2021).
