With his lovers, SIME shows the duality with anatomical precision, without completely renouncing the abstracting formal language of modernism, as the artist breaks down the rounded body forms into planes, at least in a suggestive way. The duality of the sitter thus also leads to a unity of representation in terms of design. Sculpture in bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, chiselled, polished and patinated by hand. Limited edition of 99 pieces, numbered, monogrammed and hallmarked with the foundry and ars mundi stamp. With numbered certificate of authenticity and limited edition. Format approx. 25 x 16 x 10 cm (h/w/d). Weight approx. 4 kg. ars mundi exclusive edition.
Syme's lion sculpture is characterised in particular by its clear form and reduced style of depiction. The artist concentrates entirely on the essential features of his motif and abstracts its characteristic traits. The natural proportions are always retained and the sculpture radiates dynamism and aesthetics. Sculpture in fine bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, patinated and polished by hand. Limited edition of 9 pieces, numbered, signed and hallmarked with the foundry stamp. Size 65 x 28 x 16 cm (W/H/D). Weight 12 kg.
Tense serenity: SIME's 'Reading'. The sculptural works of the artist, who is also known as a draughtsman, are preceded by numerous sketches in which he works on and varies his motif until it has taken on a 'valid' form for him. What characterises him in this process can be seen in exemplary fashion in the 'Reading Woman': In its structure and dynamics, the sculpture perfectly illustrates the 'ambiguity' of the reading process, as you can see from SIME's reader that she is excitedly engaging with her captivating reading and yet at the same time calmly resting within herself. 'There is no bliss without books', says Arno Schmidt. But with them, SIME's reader seems to be saying to the viewer, there is, even if only for a moment. Sculpture in bronze. Cast using the lost wax technique, patinated and polished by hand, limited to 99 copies + 10 E.A. copies, numbered, signed and hallmarked with foundry stamp. Certificate included. Format 19.5 x 14 x 12 cm (H/W/D). Weight 2.6 kg. ars mundi exclusive edition.

The intimate kiss of a loving couple is a challenging subject, which is probably why the great sculptors have repeatedly taken on this task. Here, the sculptor SIME, who has lived and worked in Munich for many years, shows how confidently he masters the challenge: he depicts the couple's duality with anatomical precision, without completely dispensing with the abstract formal language of modernism, as SIME breaks down the rounded body shapes into planes, at least in a suggestive way - think of the slightly cubic moulding of her thigh and shoulder as well as the sharply contoured curve of his front torso and the two-dimensional execution of the cheek and eye area. The duality of the sitter thus also leads to a unity of representation in terms of design. Sculpture in bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, chiselled, polished and patinated by hand. Limited edition of 199 copies, numbered, signed and hallmarked with the foundry stamp. With numbered certificate of authenticity and limitation. Format approx. 27.5 x 9 x 8 cm (h/w/d).

Stone witnesses to prehistoric times: At the time of the first flowering plants, when life was taking off, organisms in the vast lagoons of the Jurassic Sea were transformed into minerals, into natural works of art and stone witnesses to ancient communities. Their study provided the basis for evolutionary research. Our faithful reproductions of famous and unique fossils give you a deep insight into the life of the primeval world. The bony fish Lepidotus was widespread worldwide in the Mesozoic era and reached lengths of almost 2 metres.
