The
Dutch artist Hans Rijpma is a native of Amsterdam, where he was born in 1951. He
began sketching and drawing as a schoolboy and kept it up through a career as
clerk of the court in Amsterdam and Utrecht. After becoming a member of the
Artists' Society in Maarssen, a picturesque village on the Vecht River, Hans
Rijpma went on to give exhibitions at artists' fairs, at corporations such as
Shell and Solvay, in the Dutch Ministry of Justice, and--most recently--in the
Grande Arche of La Défense in Paris.
Hans Rijpma normally draws in chalk or crayon on 70 x 100-cm. paper. Many of his
drawings feature classic automobiles, and his work was featured in a leading car
magazine. Mr. Rijpma lives in
Maarssen, the Netherlands and is represented by John Buisman, who can be
