Description from the seller
Ralf Altrieth (Heilbronn, 1966)
'La bonne défaite', 2013
Acrylic on canvas, mounted on original stretcher
107 x 72 cm
Ready to hang
Signed, dated and annotated on the back
Sold by Recodier Art, France
Certificate of authenticity included
DESCRIPTION:
This work is part of the rare large canvases still available from the 2012–2013 period, a moment in the artist's career when figurative work achieves a more brute and direct intensity.
The important format (107 x 72 cm) gives it immediate presence. The figure occupies the space facing the viewer. The gesture is engaged, the material remains visible. The bold black outlines and strong contrasts establish an expressive and self-assured tension.
The character, built by superpositions of colors and signs, oscillates between apparent naïveté and inner tension. The eyes fix the viewer, while the peripheral elements – objects, silhouettes, signs – compose an almost narrative environment.
The palette blends deep reds, acidic greens, vibrant blues and yellows. The surface retains its traces, its revisions and its admitted accidents: the paint is shown without smoothing.
A large-format canvas, structuring, carried by a strong visual energy.
Very good state of conservation.
The frame visible in some photos is shown for illustration. The work is sold without a frame.
BIOGRAPHY:
Ralf Altrieth (born 1966 in Heilbronn, Germany) is a painter and musician. Trained at the Nürtingen Academy of Fine Arts (1987–1989), he has developed for over thirty years 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 part of an expressionist tradition where line and color become a form of intuitive writing.
