Description from the seller
Ralf Altrieth (Heilbronn, 1966)
'Jésus + L’espace solo', 'Jacob + le mensonge 17'
Acrylic on canvas, mounted on their original frames
60 x 50 cm each
Ready to hang
Signed, dated and titled on the frame, on the back
Sold by Recodier Art, France
Certificate of authenticity included
DESCRIPTION:
Created in 2017, these two paintings belong to a particular set in the artist’s career. After a period of personal rupture, Ralf Altrieth undertook a series of portraits that are deliberately pared down, almost minimalist, exploring a more synthetic and structured figuration.
The gesture is more restrained than in previous years. The compositions are built around simple geometric shapes, acting as frames in which the figure is isolated. The backgrounds are deliberately sober, allowing the portrait to occupy space with clarity.
In these two paintings, the figure is reduced to essentials: bold lines, simplified volumes, sharp contrasts. This approach evokes a search close to modernist portraiture, with a Cubist note in the construction of the forms.
The titles, all chosen around the letter “J” in this series, reflect a poetic principle. They do not imply any religious intent, but participate in a naming game peculiar to the artist.
Proposed together, these two portraits form a balanced diptych, at once sober and assertive, capable of structuring a wall through their graphic tension and visual clarity. They can be hung side by side to create a balanced and contemporary ensemble.
Excellent condition.
Original works created in 2017.
BIOGRAPHY:
Ralf Altrieth (born 1966 in Heilbronn, Germany) is an artist painter and musician. Trained at the Nürtingen Academy of Fine Arts (1987–1989), he has, for more than thirty years, developed a body of work marked by gestural expression and spontaneous pictorial writing.
He has exhibited in France and Germany, notably at Galerie Hartmut Beck (Erlangen), MAC Paris, and Galerie Théo de Seine (Paris).
His work is rooted in an expressionist tradition where line and color become a form of intuitive writing.
