About The Artwork

Making forms has always been a joy. Sculpture has been my ideal yet jewelry offers a more immediate opportunity to create and finish a form. I've always been intrigued by the from of automobiles and consequently had designed a gold pair with diamonds back in the late 80's. They were featured in Executive Jeweler and later were admired by the President of Ford, Donald Peterson. I've made a series of late fifties designs featuring the Chrysler 300 C, The 60 Ford Fairlane and the 59 Buick. . My feelings toward the owner of these is to promote the excitement of aero forms not only form autos but vehicles in general. The tactile feeling of the form in your hand as you place them on the cuff is a joy. For the experienced cuff link wearer, it's a no brainer as I've designed them to be far more secure as they are a learned application in putting them on. My next adventure will cover aircraft and water craft. A pair of these cuff links are owned by Syd Mead, Iconic Automobile designer and Hollywood special effects/illustrator. I met Syd some years back at a conference and had been a fan of his since my days at Cal State Auto Design program. These aerodynamic cuff links are a stylized version of what I seem to think of as the batmobile.

FEBRUARY 2020: Work is now in the US Dept of State Art in Art to Embassies. Simply stated: I like to create many things. Painting is a real pleasure because I can translate an image, in my view, the way I'd like to see it in oil onto a board. I've always painted. I've been an 'artist/designer' all my life. In '64 I won the coveted Robert C.J. Traub (the Traub Mfg Co., Detroit, MI) Memorial Scholarship to study art in Europe. At eighteen I left the US a single language speaker and toured Europe via coach, train and plane. Of course it makes an impact on a young person. At that time, Europe was somewhat copacetic and comfortable with American tourists. Knowing I'd be back, I left with ambition and drive to start a life in the fine art/design business. After university I began working the the allied design fields including Urban, Automotive and Product. Having a full passion for 3D works, I continued to create in both metals (jewelry as well as 2 D works. My Jewelry designs are currently involved with expressive automotive shapes that reflect aeroforms of late 60's 70's. Having won awards in the jewelry world I am inspired to create high content gold jewelry on a contractual basis. I won an award in 2008 at the International Housewares show for a (patented design) tea kettle. My inspiration was a simple fortune cookie that I developed(yet with out commerical success, the design sits on the shelf.) Collections: Estate of Syd Mead, Hollywood Oprah Winfrey. Hans J.
