AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A wild and luminous mythology.
At first glance, Ralf Altrieth's painting seems to burst forth in a free and instinctive impulse. Then the gaze lingers—and gradually discovers a more complex world, traversed by moving forms, unexpected encounters, and unforeseen balances. Nothing is fixed. The work evolves endlessly according to distance, light, and the time spent in front of it.
In this universe, the border between abstraction and figuration remains deliberately unstable. Possible silhouettes skim the surface, depths are suggested, never fixed. The gaze is invited, set in motion. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical, experience.
But beyond their immediate energy, Ralf Altrieth's works settle durably in space. They settle through their density. Through their presence. And through this rare ability to transform the space in which they take place.

CRITIQUE ET PRESSE:
"In this sense, Ralf Altrieth's pictorial poems are a pure childish chant. From the crucible of improvisation he conjures a world intact, made of spontaneous joys and strong impulses."
— Dr Friedhelm Häring, art historian and museum director
"His writing by gesture and color describes a world open to new voices and 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 in a sturdy tube to ensure safe transport.

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.
