An accomplished and refined artist, he has exhibited drawings and sculptures continuously since the mid 1980’s in galleries in New York, Los Angeles and in Sweden. In addition, he is a performance artist as well as a filmmaker.
He studied at Syracuse University, New York where he obtained a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts, and later at the Hornsey College of Art in London, England. After a 1991 punk show in his studio with seven live bands, he decided to travel and wandered throughout the US for three years before returning to work on his sculptures.
Mr. Cramer’s works are in collections in the US and Europe. Since 2001 until now he has been involved in writing and shooting a feature film entitled Bullet Ballet. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
