Boris Kramer
Boris Kramer was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in
1969. Through his father, he learned blacksmithing techniques
by osmosis; at home, art and metal were part of daily life. In
1995, when he completed a degree in Fine Arts at McMaster
University, he committed his artistic future to metal and joined
his father at the forge.
As his influences, he cites movements as diverse as rayism and impressionism and
states that, for him the forging process is the seeking of form in a balance that supports
its own meaning. Although he shares, with his father, a fascination with human
relationships, Boris has clearly developed his own distinct vision and his own unique
style.
Richard Kramer
All of Richard's sculptures are hand-forged. Richard is known for his rounded, semi-abstract,
human forms which express relationship. Richard's sculptures have received national and
international acclaim and are included in thousands of public and private collections around the
world. His work can be found in the many galleries in Canada, the United States and Europe that
carry Kramer Sculptures.
"I have been working with steel since I was 14 years old. It didn't occur
to me that what I did was a form of art. In my early 30's I began to realize
that what painters do with oil, potters do with clay and jewellers with
gold and silver, I would do with steel; I was an artist. What a revelation!"
