Guilherme Kramer
Born in São Paulo, Guilherme Kramer has had drawing as his main form of expression since childhood. In the last 10 years, his work has evolved through different surfaces, expanding the repertoire begun in ink on paper to oil on canvas and large murals. From his work emerge vivid faces and detailed landscapes, seen on the streets as well as in the depths of his imagination. For a long time, in most of his paintings the black and white aesthetic predominated, which more recently has been sharing space with colors. His fascination with crowds results in studies of the masses in different contexts, a translation of days spent on public transport, popular festivals, demonstrations and other large gatherings. In what he calls "spontaneous art", he unloads all the information he captures on his daily urban crossings. He graduated in Social Communication and studied Arts Applied to the Wall at Escola Massana in Barcelona, dedicating himself to the techniques of painting, drawing, ceramics, mosaic, stained glass and performance. At the Lasar Segall Museum, in São Paulo, he perfected lithography, woodcut and metal techniques. He has already held individual and group exhibitions in different cities in Brazil and around the world, such as Barcelona, Lisbon, Rome, Bogotá, Bern, Azores, Paris, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
