Description from the seller
Ralf Altrieth (Heilbronn, 1966)
'TBlue Lips', 2014
Acrylic on canvas, mounted on original stretcher
65 x 54 cm
Ready to hang
Signed, dated and annotated on the back
Sold by Recodier Art, France
Certificate of authenticity included
DESCRIPTION:
The face occupies the space with intensity. The blue contours, traced with a continuous gesture, frame the composition and structure the gaze. The eyes, asymmetric and strongly drawn, create immediate expressive tension. The dark red mouth provides a warm focal balance in the middle of a palette dominated by blues, purples and greens.
The layering of color blocks, graphic signs and black lines creates a living, vibrant surface, where spontaneity and construction respond to each other. The inscription “blue lips” on the left reinforces the direct and almost urban character of the composition.
A dense, expressive work with a strong visual impact.
Very good condition.
The frame visible in some photos is shown for illustration. The work is sold without a frame.
BIOGRAPHY:
Ralf Altrieth, German painter and musician based in France, develops a body of work marked by gestural expression and spontaneous pictorial handwriting. An artist active for more than thirty years, regularly exhibited in France and Germany.
