Photos are taken in natural light, as faithfully as possible to the true hues. The situational visuals allow appreciation of the dimensions and the painting's physical presence. The proportions are preserved.
Ralf Altrieth is a Franco-German painter recognized for his expressive and spontaneous universe, at the boundary 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 particularly sensitive language. His works are now in numerous private collections around the world.
CRITIQUE ET PRESSE:
"In this sense, the pictorial poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure childish song. From the crucible of improvisation he conjures a world intact, 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, image-based and colorful, without making color a creed, funny without wanting to be caricatural, joyful without idealism, energetic without being thunderous, in short a deeply human language."
— Bernard Pignero, writer
"The eye must bounce, 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 proponent of improvisation."
— Stéphane Cerri, journalist
SHIPPING:
The canvas is shipped rolled, carefully protected in a sturdy tube to guarantee safe transport.

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.
