AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An indisciplined joy. An almost carnival-like energy.
At first glance, Ralf Altrieth's painting seems to burst forth in a free, instinctive surge. Then the eye lingers—and gradually discovers a more complex world, traversed by shifting shapes, unexpected encounters, and surprising balances. Nothing is fixed. The work continually evolves with distance, light, and the time spent before it.
In this universe, the boundary between abstraction and figuration remains deliberately unstable. Possible silhouettes surface, depths suggest themselves, never quite settling. Look, and you are drawn into movement. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical, experience.
But beyond their immediate energy, Ralf Altrieth's works linger in space for a long time. They settle in through their density. Through their presence. And through that rare ability to transform the space in which they take place.
TECHNIQUE:
Acrylic on canvas
Thick, professional-grade canvas
105 × 120 cm

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 gestural and color writing 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.
The indicated dimensions refer to the work once stretched on a frame. The canvas includes additional white margins to facilitate easy 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.
