AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A monumental and jubilant improvisation.
At first glance, Ralf Altrieth's painting seems to spring forth in a free and instinctive impulse. Then the gaze lingers — and gradually discovers a more complex world, traversed by a tumult of appearances, a inhabited freedom. Nothing is fixed. It is a living chaos, pulsing and evolving continuously depending on distance, light, and the time spent before it.
In this universe, the boundary between abstraction and figuration remains deliberately unstable. Unpredictable forms emerge, never settling. The eye is engaged, set in motion. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical experience.
But beyond their immediate energy, the works of Ralf Altrieth establish themselves permanently in space. They settle there by their density. By their presence. And by this rare ability to transform the space they occupy.

Thick canvas, professional quality
200 × 200 cm
Unique work, hand-painted
Excellent condition

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 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 experiments 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
EXPÉDITION:
The canvas is shipped rolled, carefully protected with the utmost care in a solid tube, in order to guarantee safe transport.
The indicated dimensions correspond to the work once mounted on a 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.
