Ralf Altrieth is a Franco-German painter recognized for his expressive and spontaneous universe, at the border between figuration and abstraction.

His work, nourished by more than thirty years of creation between painting and music, is distinguished by a rare pictorial energy and a language that is particularly sensitive. His works are today featured in multiple private collections around the world.

CRITIQUE AND PRESS:
"In this sense, Ralf Altrieth’s pictorial poems are a pure childlike chant. From the crucible of improvisation, he conjures 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 imagery-rich, colorful language, without making color a creed, funny without being caricatural, joyful without being idealistic, energetic without being thunderous, in short a deeply human language."
— Bernard Pignero, writer

"The eye must rebound, catch on, detach itself; it is drawn by color, by the energy of the gesture, by the strange cohabitations, by the musical rhythms of jazz where Ralf Altrieth also works as a saxophonist, a proponent 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 proper re-stretching. 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.
