AI-assisted summary

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.

SHIPPING:
Tracked shipping. The painting is packed with the greatest care. To ensure optimal protection, the work is shipped rolled in secure professional packaging. Margins are provided for easy mounting on a frame. The indicated dimensions correspond to the final format once the canvas is stretched.

The paintings offered simultaneously can be grouped so that you pay shipping charges only once (subject to the sale schedule). If you are considering multiple acquisitions, it is advisable to wait for the close of all auctions before payment to allow for combined shipping.

Seller's Story

A poetic intensity—nourished by his personal universe between music and sensitive observation of the world—emerges from the paintings of the Franco-German artist Ralf Altrieth. Using a very personal language, he merges neo-expressionism and lyric abstraction into a universe characterized by line. Their gestural traits are born like musical improvisations: spontaneous, rhythmic, driven by a mix of intention and intuition. Exhibited in numerous galleries and art venues across Europe, he currently lives and works in the south of France.
