Dude number 4
Dude Ceramic, white signature glaze The sculpture consists of several separate elements that can be rearranged in space. Because of this, the work can appear differently each time and create new compositions. The organic forms resemble body fragments, natural objects, or abstract figures. The white signature glaze emphasizes the texture of the material and the softness of the forms. The work explores movement, the interaction between elements, and the changing nature of form in space.
Sima Cherny
Sima Cherny is a sculptor born in Moscow into a family of artists, where art was an inseparable part of everyday life. His parents and brother were monumental painters, and from an early age he was immersed in an environment shaped by artistic practice and the traditions of academic art. He studied sculpture at the Surikov Moscow State Academic Art Institute, one of Russiaโs leading institutions for fine arts. Alongside his independent artistic practice, Cherny worked in major sculpture workshops and foundries, participating in every stage of the sculptural processโfrom concept development and modeling to mold-making, casting, finishing, and installation. After relocating to Israel, he established his own studio in Tel Aviv, where he creates and teaches sculpture and ceramics. Today, he collaborates with prominent Israeli artists and sculptors and continues to expand his practice through exhibitions and professional projects. Chernyโs work has been presented at a number of exhibition venues in Israel and abroad, including Fresh Paint Art Fair (2024, 2025), and exhibitions organized by Bank Hapoalim. In 2026, he held his solo exhibition โSTYX: The In-Betweenโ at Herzl House (Herzl 140, Tel Aviv), exploring themes of liminality, transformation, and the interconnected nature of life and death. Working with bronze, aluminum, wood, ceramics, stone, and mixed media, Cherny investigates themes of transformation, memory, uncertainty, and transitional states. His sculptures exist at the intersection of figurative and abstract forms, combining material presence with philosophical reflection on the nature of human experience.
