He graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Madison with a M.S. degree in 1954 followed by advanced study in both Seattle, Washington and London, England. In 1960 he was the recipient of a Fulbright Award to study silversmithing and sculpture in England.

Images are created by transferring a wet sheet of hand-made paper to plaster molds. Images are created by transferring a wet sheet of hand-mad paper to plaster molds. These molds are created with found objects or are the direct product of the artist’s imagination. Many of the found objects are parts of Haendel’s vast collections of old toys, tin soldiers, Americana, parts from construction sets to figurines of cartoon characters and those from antiquated molds. Haendel’s work conveys narratives and commentaries on many aspects of contemporary life. Even though one of his pieces is called, Gates to Hell, which is an attack on nuclear power as the answer to mans’ need for energy and power, his work is typically full of visual and written puns, which enables the viewer to look carefully and search out the imagery.

    My artwork has consisted of and has evolved into many forms throughout the years while always being influenced by the culture of South Florida. To portray my inspirations into my artform, my art pieces always consist of acrylic paints, vibrant colors, textured clay surfaces, uniquely shaped canvases, and decorative stone embellishments and accents. I have painted within many genres of subject matter, use a multitude of mediums, and am inspired by an array of subject matter. My experiences, inspirations, and artistic details are what enhance and add dimension to my artwork in the forms of murals, painted canvases, artistic furniture and home décor, and 3D art forms. I have developed my artwork into collections over the years that I always aspire to further enhance and creatively grow from. What makes my artwork unique creations is the attention paid to hand-crafted and clay designed accents I use to add layers of texture to my pieces. Medium of mirrors, stones, tiles, decorative cutouts, metallic foils, and other design elements make each piece unique and one of a kind. As well, use of resin helps to solidify and finish off the surfaces of most of my pieces. I love to use art...

    By Kristofer LAMEY
    Located in ATLANTA, GA
    Born and raised in Atlanta, Kristofer Laméy has brought much to the southeastern art and design table. From debuting his unique design perspective in the 2007 ICFF in New York City and showcasing his Art at Aqua during the 2008 Art Basel in Miami, to his solo Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA) exhibit titled “Serving Form” in 2010, Kristofer is best known for his one-off commissioned sculptural art forms. His work has found a place in homes and collections across the globe. One of his most ambitious design challenges was solving a decades-long problem in the aviation industry: How to more efficiently design and install jet aircraft interiors. This was the birth of AIMS. Kristofer’s work straddles a fine line that resides between art and design. Many, lost within the engineering of his creations, like to push his work out of the category of art and into the realm of design. This line is the fulcrum that leverages his work into a playing field of his own, and he is proud of that. Those looking for solutions in the marketplace that are in need of an outside perspective to differentiate a product benefit from his fresh and creative approach to modern manufacturing. In April 2020 Kristofer moved his family to the North Georgia mountain...
