About Summer Sun 3

Modernist Burton Kramer’s delightful compositions play with geometric shapes enhanced by a lively colour palette. This acrylic piece has a central square in turquoise complemented by muted tones of apricot, green, and burnt orange rectangles and lines.

“The paintings do not 'abstract' the experience of reality, as we know it. They provide the viewer with an alternate form of reality….” Burton Kramer
