"Let me think" for me is a tense situation with a hostage somewhere in the background, off to the right. Probably tied up and sitting in a puddle of their own sweat, staring constantly at the female figure in the painting, who deliberately is showing her back to him. The hostage has just said something to the female figure who likes to play games with the hostage. I still don't know who is 'good' and who is 'bad'. The more I think about it, the more the hostage is the 'bad guy'. I can imagine the hostage has said something like 'Well are you going to kill me or are you not?' to which she has replied "Let me think" with a definite smile on her face. What happens next I think is that she takes up the pistol, turns round and dramatically points it at him... and after that I'm not sure if I want to know. I like the moment of uncertainty in the painting, and don't want to venture too far from that in my imagined situation.

Gareth A. Rychter
Malmö
I studied illustration at the Edinburgh College of Art, where I developed a deep foundation in both traditional technique and creative expression. In 1998, I relocated to Sweden, where my artistic career was more of a hobby under the name Gareth B. Rychter.
The birth of my son prompted a powerful shift in focus. Choosing to prioritise fatherhood, I stepped away from the art world to embrace that chapter of life fully.
Now, in 2025, I return to the canvas with renewed energy and clarity, working under the name Gareth A. Rychter. My current practice explores two distinct yet complementary styles: one rooted in the immediacy and spontaneity of observational sketchbook work, the other in the precision and stillness of photo-realism. Together, these approaches reflect a lifelong engagement with both the fleeting moment and the carefully constructed image.
