About the Item

"Red and Yellow Curb" is a wood carved painting created by Robert Richter. This painting presents an urban landscape using the humor and irony common to Robert Richter's oeuvre. In the image, a tall green tree dominates the composition, growing out of the yellow and red painted median of a commercial parking lot. Beyond, the walls of a commercial building define the pictorial space of the urban landscape, limiting our view to only a small distance. This ironic fusion of American consumerist culture alongside idealized nature is a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment of apparent contradictions in contemporary life. Titled, dated, and signed in pencil. Then stamped with initial on verso. Housed in a frame of the artist's design and construction Artwork Size: 36" x 48" Frame Size: 43 1/2" x 55" Artist Bio: Born in Milwaukee, Robert Richter has been painting from the age of eight. His unique paintings are hand carved on wood as well as hand carved frames that become an integral part of the paintings. The artist comments, “I want my paintings to be stunning from across the room, to beckon, as all good paintings should. And then close up, what a surprise!” The artist lived in New York where he painted literally everything from stage sets to mural commissions. He painted store front windows, lithographs from aluminum plates for actors, T-shirts, costumes, curtains, wall hangings, furniture and floors. His unique experiences, intellect, extraordinary color sensibility result in a stunning style with flavors of Avery, Grant Wood and Matisse, but mostly himself.
