“I saw the angel in the marble
and carved until I set him free."
— Michelangelo
Robert Ichter

R. John Ichter is an award wining artist who is quickly captivating the art scene wherever his work is shown. Investors and collectors range from well known celebrities to Fortune 500 companies such as The Coca-Cola Company, Arthur Anderson and Company, the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States and the Hospital Corporation of America. Numerous publications have also highlighted Bob's work; among those are Southwest Arts Magazine, Atlanta Homes, the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the Eclectic Magazine and Design South.

Also known as "Bob" to his friends, Ichter's romantic pastels are richly colored and hand-rubbed onto lushly textured black suede archival board. According to Ichter, each piece is designed to evoke a certain time of day and to transport the viewer to another place. Autumn and dusk are favorite themes, which have been inspired by landscapes from around the world. You may find yourself gazing into the rolling hills of the French countryside, strolling along a windy Normandy beach, exploring a pathway through a North Carolina Blue Ridge forest, gazing at a dragonfly resting upon a patch of waterlillies in Claude Monet's gardens at Giverny or floating along the river Seine. Be it sunrise, sunset or a full moonlit night, you are certain to want to return again and again.

Born in 1958, Ichter currently lives in the Virginia-Highland section of Atlanta. In his spare time he teaches and trains in a form of martial arts called Cuong Nhu. His hobbies include golf, raising tropical fish and the orchids found in some of his paintings. Painting has been a passion for Ichter ever since he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from West Georgia College in 1982.
