About the Item
This modern geometric painting by Burton Kramer was inspired by music.
Lauded as a pioneer of Canadian graphic design, the lyrical paintings of Burton Kramer have been recognized worldwide. A modernist whose preferred form is often geometric, his palette of choice is a kaleidoscope of vivid color. This painting literally radiates the power of color to convey an inspired narrative. Bars of indigo blue, orange, and canary yellow beat in unison against a bright green backdrop that flows like piano keys across the canvas. The visual movement is palpable.
“My paintings do not abstract the experience of reality as we know it. They provide the viewer with an alternate reality, just as music often does.” Burton Kramer
“Kramer’s work can best be described as a collection with active, visual powers that enchants the viewer through geometric shapes, and these are just coming from the mighty hands of a modernist designer and artist.”
Excerpt from: The Moderns: Mid-century American Graphic Design by Steven Heller and Greg D’Onofrio Abrams

Extra-Large Dutch Contemporary Abstract Portrait By Hans Bouman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
An exquisite contemporary painting by Dutch artist, Hans Bouman.
In this painting Bouman creates a captivating interplay of colors and forms that gives rise to an enigmatic abstract face that invites interpretation and contemplation. This captivating large-scale abstract painting is a harmonious blend of warm white, earthy tones, invigorating orange, and calming blue hues.
Hans Bouman, born in the Netherlands in 1951, embarked on his artistic journey at the Amsterdam Graphic School and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Fine Arts. During the early 1980s, Paris became his haven of inspiration, where his debut in galleries marked the onset of an international presence that continues to flourish.
Bouman's artistic evolution is characterized by cycles of creativity, but it is his larger-than-life hieratic heads that he is renown for. These remarkable pieces pay homage to influences as diverse as the Moai sculptures of Easter Island, the intricate masks of Africa...
