CRITIQUE AND PRESS:
"In this sense, the pictorial poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure childish chant. From the crucible of improvisation, he conjures an untouched 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 imagistic and colorfully expressive language, without turning color into a creed, funny without wanting to be caricatural, joyful without idealism, energetic without being thunderous, in short a language deeply human."
— Bernard Pignero, writer
"The eye must bounce, cling, detach; it is drawn by the color, by the energy of the gesture, by strange cohabitations, the musical rhythms of jazz in which Ralf Altrieth also works as a saxophonist, an advocate of improvisation."
— Stéphane Cerri, journalist
SHIPPING:
The canvas is shipped rolled, carefully protected in a sturdy tube to ensure safe transport.
The indicated dimensions refer to the artwork when mounted on a frame. The canvas includes additional white margins to allow easy re-tensioning. The buyer can entrust this work to their local framer.
RALF ALTRIETH is a Franco-German painter renowned 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 particularly sensitive language. His works are today in numerous private collections around the world.
