Paul Kremer creates dynamic relationships between shape, form, and color in his paintings. The surface of the paintings are matte, maintaining a balance of color saturation and the texture of the canvas that the paint is applied to. Unlike Kremer's mid-twentieth-century precursors, he endows the hard edge shapes of his compositions with adjacent darker areas that give the presence of weight and mass. By the visual suggestion of these darker adjacent areas, the highly defined shapes are then perceived as having shadows with more than the implied introduction of receding space and perspective. As a result, these tightly defined shapes create their own volumetric entities, introducing a dimensional weight to the composition.
