About Pink Hearts 37/70

This ‘celebration’ of love by Canadian Burton Kramer is both playful and elegant in its simplicity. Small pink hearts are rendered in a precise geometric pattern of squares that pop against a backdrop of bright green. A modernist, Kramer’s expressive work often plays with geometric shapes enhanced by a lively colour palette.

“My style... in art is based on what is now a lifetime of study, experience and critical looking at everything. As Costanada wrote in Conversations with Don Juan... "how does she dance? She dances with everything she has. That's how she sees." Burton Kramer
