DESCRIPTION :
The museum director and art historian Dr. Friedhelm Häring describes the pictorial universe of Ralf Altrieth:
"There is a lot of poetry in this painting, as in all the artist's works. They are populated by narrative codes and fantastical tales. In that sense, the painterly poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure childish chant... But the most astonishing thing that manifests in these canvases is a communicative tenderness for the states of mind of the human being."
In his paintings, Ralf Altrieth lets the shapes rise and transform with the gesture, in a free and spontaneous movement. The figures often appear fleetingly, as if hesitating between being and disappearing.
The image forms through superpositions, the elements seem to float, respond to each other, interlace, creating a living and open visual space.
The title is generally added afterwards. It aims to suggest a thread, a narrative dimension, poetic or sometimes simply humorous, never anchoring the image in a single interpretation.
An expressive work that immediately catches the eye and gradually reveals all its richness.
