DESCRIPTION:

The museum director and art historian Dr. Friedhelm Häring describes the painterly universe of Ralf Altrieth:

"There is a lot of poetry in this painting, as in all of the artist's works. They are inhabited by narrative codes and fantastical tales. In this sense, the painterly poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure childish chant. ... But the most astonishing thing that manifests itself in these canvases is a communicative tenderness for the states of mind of the human being."

In his paintings, Ralf Altrieth lets the forms emerge and transform as the brush moves, in a free and spontaneous gesture. 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.

An expressive work that immediately captures the eye and gradually reveals all its richness.

BIOGRAPHY:

Ralf Altrieth (Heilbronn, 1966) is a Franco-German painter and musician recognized for his expressive and spontaneous universe, at the boundary between figuration and abstraction. Trained in his adolescence with painter Georg Schaible, then at the Academy of Fine Arts of Nürtingen at the end of the 1980s, his work is distinguished by a rare pictorial energy and a particularly sensitive language. His paintings are now in numerous private collections around the world.
