Jewellry And Affection

Modern jewellery, as part of modern handmade arts, has got obvious contemporary characters. Gerd Rothmann, German contemporary jewellery artist, has introduced the method of human body cast into the area of jewellery design since the late 1970s. He expresses his attention on human body and affection in his jewellery works, and redefines the seemingly normal objects with a completely new conception, simple and vivid. Gerd Rothmann adopts the design idea of"objects with affection", makeing jewellery and the wearer a whole, and has got common consent and recognition. Because of this unique design idea, he has become one of the most famous modern jewellery artist. This thesis explains Gerd Rothmann's human body cast jewellery by illustrating different piece of his works, and interprets the distinct post contemporary design conception and the enlightenment from his modern jewellery art works.
