AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A world of perpetual invention.
At first glance, Ralf Altrieth's painting seems to burst forth in a free and instinctive impulse. Then the gaze lingers—and gradually reveals a more complex world, threaded with moving forms, unforeseen encounters, and unexpected equilibria. Nothing is fixed. The work continually evolves according to distance, light, and the time spent before it.
In this universe, the boundary between abstraction and figuration remains deliberately unstable. Possible silhouettes surface, depths are suggested, never fixed. The gaze is challenged, set in motion. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical experience.
But beyond their immediate energy, Ralf Altrieth's works settle permanently into space. They settle by their density. By their presence. And by this rare ability to transform the space in which they are placed.

Panels I and III: 160 x 75 cm each; panel II: 160 x 90 cm

CRITIQUE AND PRESS:
"In this sense, the pictorial poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure childish chant. From the crucible of improvisation it conjures a world intact, made of spontaneous joys and strong impulses."
— Dr. Friedhelm Häring, art historian and museum director
"His gesture-and-color writing describes a world open to new voices and to experiences never attempted. His canvases and his works on paper demonstrate that painting remains a major expression on the contemporary stage."
— Laurent Puech, art historian and curator
SHIPPING:
The canvas is shipped rolled, carefully protected with the utmost care in a sturdy tube, to ensure safe transport.
The stated dimensions correspond to the work mounted on its stretcher. The canvas includes additional white margins to allow easy re-tensioning. The buyer may entrust this work to their local framer.

Seller's Story
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 particularly sensitive language. Trained in his teens with the painter Georg Schaible, then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nürtingen at the end of the 1980s, his works are today in numerous private collections around the world. Shown in many galleries and European art venues, he lives and works today in the south of France.
