The photos are taken in natural light, aiming to reproduce as closely as possible the real hues. The lifestyle visuals help appreciate the painting’s dimensions and physical presence. Proportions are preserved.
Ralf Altrieth is a Franco-German painter recognized for his expressive and spontaneous universe, at the border of figuration and abstraction.
His work, nourished by more than thirty years of creation between painting and music, stands out for its rare pictorial energy and a language that is particularly sensitive. His works are today in private collections around the world.
CRITIQUE AND PRESS:
"In this sense, Ralf Altrieth’s pictorial poems are a pure childish song. From the crucible of improvisation, he conjures up an untouched world of spontaneous joys and strong impulses."
— Dr. Friedhelm Häring, art historian and museum director
"There is in Ralf Altrieth’s painting a generosity that has its own language, vivid and colorful, without turning color into a creed, funny without wanting to caricature, joyful without idealism, energetic without being thunderous, in short a deeply human language."
— Bernard Pignero, writer
"The eye must rebound, cling, detach; it is captured by color, by the energy of the gesture, by strange cohabitations, by the musical rhythms of jazz where Ralf Altrieth also works as a saxophonist, a devotee of improvisation."
— Stéphane Cerri, journalist
SHIPPING:
The canvas is shipped rolled, carefully protected in a sturdy tube to ensure safe transport.
