AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Acrylic on canvas, 2021

Thick, professional-quality canvas

180 × 155 cm

Unique work, painted by hand
Excellent condition

Signed and dated on the back by the artist
Certificate of authenticity

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.
The indicated dimensions correspond to the work mounted on a frame. The canvas includes extra margins to allow correct re-tensioning. The buyer may entrust this work to their local framer.

Seller's Story

A poetic intensity—nourished by his personal universe between music and sensitive observation of the world—emerges from the paintings of the Franco-German artist Ralf Altrieth. Using a very personal language, he merges neo-expressionism and lyric abstraction into a universe characterized by line. Their gestural traits are born like musical improvisations: spontaneous, rhythmic, driven by a mix of intention and intuition. Exhibited in numerous galleries and art venues across Europe, he currently lives and works in the south of France.
