DESCRIPTION:

The museum director and art historian Dr. Friedhelm Häring describes Ralf Altrieth’s pictorial universe as follows:

"There is a lot of poetry in this painting, as in all of the artist’s works. They are populated with narrative codes and fantastical tales. In this sense, Ralf Altrieth’s pictorial poems are a pure childish chant. [...] But the most astonishing thing that appears in these canvases is a communicative tenderness for the emotional states of human beings."

In his paintings, Ralf Altrieth lets forms emerge and transform with the stroke, in a free and spontaneous movement. Figures often appear fleetingly, as if wavering between being and vanishing.

The image forms through superpositions; the elements seem to float, respond to each other, intertwine, creating a living and open visual space.

An expressive work that immediately captures the eye and gradually reveals all of its richness.
