We are pleased to welcome back R. John Ichter for another exhibit showcasing some of his interesting and creative works.
R.John Ichter is an award-winning artist who resides in Atlanta Georgia and who is quickly captivating the art scene wherever his work is shown.
Also known as "Bob" to his friends, Ichter's romantic pastels are richly colored and hand-rubbed onto lushly textured black suede archival board. The strengths of Ichter's pastels include vibrant, saturated colors and strong compositions. According to Ichter, each piece is designed to evoke a certain time of day and to transport the viewer to another place.
New to Ichter's creative endeavors this year are 3-D paintings of fish in bowls. These pieces are actually multiple layers of paint and resin stacked on top of each other in a box or bowl.
The piece starts out with a layer of resin in the bottom of the vessel, then must cure a minimum of 12 hours depending on temperature and humidity. The resin is a 2 part mixture that must be precisely measured and mixed, otherwise the resin will never cure. Once the first layer is fully hardened, the initial layer of acrylic paint is applied, in the case of my fish paintings, that is usually the bottom fins. Once the paint has dried, I mix another batch of resin and apply it, then wait another 12 hours. This is repeated over and over, often twice a day until I've built up enough layers to give the illusion of a 3 dimensional fish in the bowl or glass.
