AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A carnival-fantasy and profoundly human.
At first glance, Ralf Altrieth's painting seems to burst forth in a free, instinctive rush. Then the gaze lingers — and gradually discovers a more complex world, traversed by shifting forms, unforeseen encounters, and unexpected balances. 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 intentionally unstable. Possible silhouettes appear, depths are suggested, never settling. The eye 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 install themselves through their density. Through their presence. And through this rare ability to transform the space in which they take their place.

CRITIQUE ET PRESSE:
"In this sense, the pictorial poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure childish chant. From the crucible of improvisation he brings forth an intact world of spontaneous joys and strong impulses."
— Dr Friedhelm Häring, art historian and museum director
"His writing through gesture and color describes a world open to new voices and to experiences never attempted. His canvases and works on paper demonstrate that painting remains a major expression of the contemporary scene."
— Laurent Puech, art historian and curator

The canvas is shipped rolled, carefully protected in a sturdy tube to ensure safe transport.
The indicated dimensions correspond to the work once mounted on a stretch frame. The canvas includes additional white margins to allow easy re-tensioning. The buyer can 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.
