Ralf Altrieth IA zéro - XXXL (2023), acrylic and aerosol on canvas, 205 × 160 cm, original edition, hand-signed, from France, direct from the artist, in excellent condition.
Description from the seller
“IA zéro” was painted in 2023 within the context of an experiment conducted in Montpellier around gesture and movement. While researchers were trying to measure and analyze the act of painting, this canvas asserts, on the contrary, what escapes machines: the raw and unpredictable energy of the human gesture.
A unique work directly from the artist’s studio, it is executed in acrylic and spray paint on high-quality canvas. Signed on the back and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Very good condition.
The photos are taken in natural light to best respect the real hues. The situational visuals allow the dimensions and physical presence of the work to be appreciated. The proportions are preserved.
With its monumental format of 205 x 160 cm, the canvas unfolds a true explosion of forms and colors. Figures, imaginary animals, faces and graphic signs appear within a network of rapid lines. The contrasts of reds, blues, yellows and greens create a vibrant surface where the eye circulates endlessly.
Realized without a preliminary sketch, the composition is built in the gesture, through successive adjustments, until reaching a “rightness”: a balance between instinctive energy and mastered structure.
German-born painter living in the south of France, trained from adolescence and then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nürtingen (Germany) at the end of the 1980s, Ralf Altrieth has been exhibiting for over thirty years in France and Germany, notably at MAC Paris, Galerie Théo de Seine (Paris), and Galerie Hartmut Beck (Erlangen). His works are today in private collections around the world.
