Robert Richter
In my last Bio I wrote “The artist was born in Milwaukee over 50 years ago in the year of the horse”. That was 15 years ago. I also wrote “He paints on incised wood, using the lines much like a coloring book”. That rings rather cheeky for a discipline employed by artists for many thousands of years - painting a carved image. The drawing carved creates another dimension, like a painting moving into the realm of furniture.
I draw from life literally and figuratively. Drawing mostly trees, clouds, grass… drawn to quiet and stillness and the passing of time. My influencers have remained with me from the beginning… Grant Wood and Kieth Haring. The artist (moi) lives and works outside of Austin, Texas in the county seat of Caldwell County. |
