About the Item
Hard-edged, jazzy, abstract —bold in color, line and form is by Burton Kramer. Internationally renowned as a fine graphic designer, the Canadian artist brings the same precision and intuitive sense of color and shape to his artwork.
This composition is composed of graphic elements that appear to dance around the canvas. Kramer is known for his eclectic color palette—this piece is rendered in a delightful mix of greens, blues, pinks, yellow, mellow and red. In Italian, ‘divertimento’ means ‘diversion’ or ‘amusement’ and in this case refers to the musical genre that is both light and entertaining. Kramer often names his work after musical terms. One of a series.
“Instrumentally produced, multi-layered sound offers the listener sensory pleasure. In my paintings, color and forms, integrated into a structure-based composition, provide a similar pleasure.” Burton Kramer.
“Working in the rich vein of geometric abstraction, Kramer creates pieces that seem so perfectly executed that it is as though they have been dreamed into existence.”
Liz Wylie Curator Kelowna Art Gallery

Capriccio 2 - bright, colourful, geometric abstract, modernist, acrylic on panel
By Burton Kramer
Located in Bloomfield, ON
In musical terms, a capriccio is a short, lively, free-form piece of music. Modernist Burton Kramer’s Capriccio 2 envisions shapes and colours inspired by beautiful music. In this way Kramer’s work is much like the 20th century European painter Wassily Kandinsky who was renowned for his experiments with colour and music.
