About the Item
This painting, 'Store Tree,' presents a landscape, but with the humor and irony common to Robert Richter's oeuvre. In the image, a bright yellow tree dominates the composition with footpaths and sidewalks drawing the viewer's eye into the distance. This highly manicured garden, with kempt bushes and green shrubbery, grows alongside the brick walls of a big box department store. This ironic fusion of American consumerist culture alongside idealized nature is a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment of apparent contradictions in contemporary life.

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.
