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!"
