About the Item
This modern geometric painting by Burton Kramer was inspired by music.
During his storied decades-long career, Burton Kramer has achieved international recognition as one of Canada’s finest graphic artists and designers. His bold, graphic and vividly colored artwork is inspired by the rhythm of a musical beat. Kramer calls his paintings ‘visual music.’
This new piece reflects Kramer’s modernist sensibilities— clean, crisp-edged graphic shapes in fresh, bright colors—turquoise, sky and deep blue, golden yellow, red, soft pink, purple, lilac, light green and black for contrast.
The curated juxtaposition of shapes—rectangles, lines and squares gives the viewer the impression that the piece has rhythmic movement as if Kramer is playing a tune with paint.
“The paintings do not 'abstract' the experience of reality, as we know it. They provide the viewer with an alternate form of 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.

"Elements (Lines) 3080" Abstract Layered Composition on Baltic Birch Panel
By Christie Owen
Located in New York, NY
This piece depicts an abstract composition with the use of mixed media and bold patterns producing a work that is visually textured and rich with layers, as Owen creates an intricate geometric minimalistic composition. Even though this work has a rustic and heavily textured quality, the final result is intended to appear quiet to reflect a more minimal outlook on life and art. Creating a piece that allows us to escape the technological realm, contemplate modern living and nature and then communicate how each domain influences another. Her piece aims to engage the viewer with an emotional and environmental disposition that evokes a sense of balance and tranquility in the modern world. This unique work is executed on 2.5 depth baltic birch...
