AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Mixed technique on canvas, 2018

Thick professional-grade canvas

195 × 150 cm

Unique work, hand-painted
Excellent condition

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

The photos are taken in natural light, aiming to respect as closely as possible the actual true colors. The situational visuals allow appreciation of the painting’s dimensions and physical presence. Proportions are preserved.

Ralf Altrieth is a Franco-German painter known for his expressive and spontaneous universe, on the boundary between figuration and abstraction.

His work, nourished by more than thirty years of creation between painting and music, stands out for a rare pictorial energy and a particularly sensitive language. His works are today featured in numerous private collections worldwide.

CRITICISM AND PRESS:
"In this sense, Ralf Altrieth’s pictorial poems are a pure childish chant. From the crucible of improvisation, he forges a pristine world made 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, pictorial and colorful, without turning color into a creed, funny without being caricatural, joyful without idealism, energetic without being thunderous, in short a deeply human language."
— Bernard Pignero, writer

"The eye must rebound, cling, detach itself; it is drawn by the color, by the energy of the gesture, by the strange cohabitations, the musical rhythms of jazz where Ralf Altrieth also acts as a saxophonist, a fan of improvisation."
— Stéphane Cerri, journalist

SHIPPING:
The canvas is shipped rolled, carefully protected inside a sturdy tube, to guarantee safe transport.
The listed dimensions correspond to the work mounted on a stretcher. The canvas includes extra margins to allow proper re-tensioning. The buyer may entrust this work to a 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.
