By clicking on the thumbnail images, you can view each piece in greater detail. SIDE view REAR view TITLE: ABASHED Bronze on bronze pedestal Height: 13" Price: $2,450.00 Full male nudity is an acknowledged taboo in our culture. Wim's work challenges prevailing images of manhood to include beauty, sensitivity, passion, and a sensuality as expressed through the male nude. It is this unabashed view that has caused Wim's work to be attacked by various groups. In response, Wim has created ABASHED, a sculpture of a young man on a pedestal, who is responding to this attack by feeling embarrassed, self-conscious, and ill-at-ease about his own body. FRONT VIEW TITLE: ANSWERED PRAYER Bronze on wood base Height: 25" Wingspan: 29" Price: $7,000.00 It is said that "to have contact with angels you must simply ask." Some people call that "praying". First, you must ask so they will know your need. Second, the act of praying creates a "Window of surrender" through which they can bring you your desire. Third, they need the "energy of your thoughts" to do their work. Finally, you must acknowledge what they have done for you and say "thanks." This angel, having heard your prayer and seen the light from the window of surrender, descends from his place on high. With his powerful wings outspread he alights to serve you. REAR VIEW CLOSE UP TITLE: ANTICIPATION Bronze (without pedestal) Height: 36" Price: $16,000.00 Life is made up of little adventures guided by our moment-to-moment decisions depicted in the tentative musing of ANTICIPATION. In this lyrical piece of gentle curves and sweeping lines, the viewer can see that this young man's gaze is fixed on something or someone yearned for. Although he is seated, he is not entirely at rest, but is caught in a moment of anticipation. To this young man, personal choice is being contemplated and guidance sought from within. To be true to one's self proves to be the ultimate risk. REAR VIEW CLOSE UP TITLE: AWAKENING Bronze on bronze base Height: 34" Price: $4,000.00 Each of us has times of self realization; times that seem to lift us out of ourselves. These moments can be so revealing, so uplifting, that they transform our perspective so dramatically that we never see ourselves, or others in exactly the same way again. "Awakening" is a self-portrait. It is one of the moments in this artist's life, so profound, that the artist has become the work of art. " In song and in dance I express myself as a member of a higher community. I have forgotten how to walk and speak. I am on my way toward flying into the air... dancing My very gestures express enchantment. I feel myself a god. Supernatural sounds emanate from me. I walk about enchanted, in ecstasy, like the gods I see walking in my dreams. I am no longer an artist, I have become a work of art."      -Author unknown CLOSE UP REAR VIEW TITLE: BAREBACK Bronze on bronze base Height: 24" Price: $4,000.00 This piece captures a moment of reflection at the end of along and vigorous day. The rodeo cowboy, holding his bareback-rider rigging, ponders on his wins and losses. A gentle smile warms his time worn face, as he recognizes the joy and satisfaction in his rugged, cowboy lifestyle. REAR and SIDE VIEWS TITLE: BEAR Bronze (without base) Height: 9 ½" Price: $2,200.00 "What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit; for whatever happens to the beasts soon happens to man. All things are connected."      -Chief Seattle, Suquamish Indian Tribe REAR VIEW CLOSE UP TITLE: BUCKED Bronze on wood base Height: 9 ½" Price: $4,000.00 Though the horse is unseen, its dynamic presence is felt. Wim courageously eliminated the visual image of the bronco in order to focus our attention on the modern rodeo cowboy, showing him to be the athlete he truly is. BUCKED shows no sign of defeat as the cowboy, with clenched fist, awaits the inevitable. Capturing the dramatic movement and exciting action of the rodeo, Wim combines classic sculpture with western storytelling, resulting in a truly unique western bronze. REAR VIEW CLOSE UP TITLE: DRAW Bronze on wood base Height: 27" Price: $6,000.00 What would a cowboy be without his hat, holster, and boots? The cowboys tools, used sunup to sundown, seven days a week, are symbols of an American Passion. Legend maintains that a cowboy's hat was the last thing he took off at night and the first thing he put on in the morning. If this cowboy doesn't kill you with his fast draw he'll kill you with his good looks. You may think you can beat him, but watch out, for this maverick spends every spare minute practicing in front of the mirror, as he has been captured in this unique bronze. His feet are planted firmly beneath him, and his hand is poised over the grip of his Peacemaker Colt 45 with an eight-inch barrel. His eyes are determined and his jaw set. You might as well surrender and give him what he wants. If you wait until this leather pounder says, "Draw!" it will be too late. "DRAW!" Sorry, greenhorn, too late. CLOSE UP REAR VIEW TITLE: EXPLORER Bronze Height: 12" Price: $1,800.00 Employing the ancient art of adorning a utilitarian object, Wim playfully shows a man absorbed in the discovery of his world. By adding your own bouquet of flowers, and your own exploration of the beauty of nature, this artful vase comes to life. REAR VIEW TITLE: INCLINED MALE TORSO Bronze on wood base Height: 17" Width: 24" Price: $5,000.00 In response to the abundance of reclining female torsos created by artists over the centuries, Wim has created a classical "inclined" male torso which celebrates the desirability of unique, sensuous, masculine beauty. Wim has created a textured surface that generates refracted light, mimicking the way that light touches and radiates on the surface of paintings. Texture, combined with a black patina, causes the light-play to emphasize both outline and form of this handsome sculpture. VIEW from BENEATH SIDE VIEW TITLE: JOKER Bronze Height: 5" Price: $1,400.00 This joker guarantees to amuse the most jaded. Though this humorous piece was originally created as a private joke, he has become a popular fellow among serious collectors as well as collectors of erotica. Our court jester amuses his king with his gymnastic ability to accomplish what most men can only dream about. Known for his sense of humor and insults, he now gets in a few good licks concerning his own endowment, a source of humor and envy throughout the ages. This beautifully sculpted little bronze has no flat bottom. Wim has sculpted this joker all the way around... no joke. CLOSE UP TITLE: MERCURY Bas-relief Bronze on wooden base Height: 19 ½" Price: $2,200.00 Mercury (also known as Hermes) was the patron of travelers. He also brought sudden good fortune. Hermes was the son of Zeus and is said to have grown astonishingly quickly, which may reflect his Olympian role as a phallic deity. Mercury was the messenger of the gods; hence the wings, symbol of swiftness, on his helmet and feet. His older brother Apollo gave Mercury a staff, called a caduceus, which has become the symbol of the healing arts and medicine. Usually there are two snakes wrapped around the staff, but Wim has used one snake in a simpler representation that adds a gentler rhythm to the whole piece. Mercury was worshiped at crossroads, and statues called 'Herms" were erected at these junctions. Here, Mercury appears to be pointing to the correct direction for the traveler to follow. In this privately commissioned piece, Wim has created a unique, free standing bas-relief bronze that captures this young man's beauty and strength of conviction to serve and protect. CLOSE UP TITLE: PAN FOUNTAIN PLAQUE Bronze Height: 25 ½" Width 16 ½" Depth: 1 ½" Price: $4,200.00 Pan, the pastoral god and patron of agriculture, had a great affinity for shepherds as they played their "pan pipes" to their flocks. Pan is depicted as having the legs and horns of a goat with the torso and head of a man. Pan was playful and lascivious, and prone to drunken revelry. Wim has captured the lusty physical pleasures of unrestrained man-and -beast in this beautifully detailed bas-relief fountain. Water flows from the grapes through Pan's fingers like nectarous wine, caressing his body as it bathes his torso and musically splashes into the water below. SIDE VIEW TITLE: SUMMER SON Bronze on Wood base Height: 24" Price: $6,800.00 Wim has created a unique sculpture, capturing a shared moment as two sun worshipers have freed themselves from the encumbrances of winter and rejoice at the feel of the summer sun on their skin. Dad stands with his head back soaking up what feels like liquid passion, as his boy tries to shade his eyes form the glare. But is it the warmth of the sun or the tenderness of this relationship that touches and warms the soul? Is it the heat of the sun on naked flesh or the tender caress of a dad's hand that is celebrated here? FRONT and REAR VIEWS TITLE: TABOO Bronze on wood base Height: 13" Price: $2,600.00 The innocence of youth's self-discovery is the subject of this delightful and delicate piece. Holding his underwear in hand, he tentatively explores the wonder of his sexual awakening unaware of the prejudice of society's taboos. REAR VIEW TITLE: TRUNK TORSO Bronze on wood base Height: 15" Price: $2,600.000 The classical torso fragment with a hairy twist. This hairy bodybuilder torso is a unique variation on the traditional torso. CLOSE UP REAR VIEW TITLE: WILL THERE EVER BE A TIME WHEN WE DON'T HAVE TO HIDE? Bronze on bronze base Height: 19" Price: $3,210.00 There are parts of us that we hide from family, friends, and lovers. There are parts of us that we hide from the world. There are even parts of us that we try to hide from ourselves. This man, who appears to have nothing to hide, covers his eyes in an attempt to hide his soul. This is a sculpture of communion between strength and weakness. Its heavy, muscular mass of uncontrolled movement, exposed texture and finally, torment, asks the question; "Will there ever be a time when we don't have to hide?"
