DESCRIPTION:
This original work by Ralf Altrieth unfolds a universe where human figures, gazes, animals and signs seem to emerge spontaneously before blending back into the composition. Each element appears as an obvious fact, with no imposed narration, leaving the viewer free to project their own story onto it.
The gesture is direct, lively, unpretentious. The broad flat areas dialog with straight lines, assertive contours and a rich pictorial material that give the whole an energy immediately perceptible. The colors oscillate between softness and intensity, creating a singular balance where tension, humor, fragility and poetry coexist naturally.
The marouflage of paper on a wooden panel gives the work the presence of a painting while preserving the spontaneity and freshness inherent in working on paper. Once framed with a wide mat, it gains a real architectural strength and becomes a focal point in a contemporary interior.
At the boundary between free figuration, contemporary expressionism and instinctive writing, this work bears witness to a deeply personal approach. Nothing is decorative in the conventional sense: everything seems to arise from an inner necessity. A singular piece, vibrant and expressive, which continues to reveal new details over time.
CRITIQUE:
"There is a lot of poetry in this painting, as in all the artist's works. They are populated with narrative codes and fantastical tales. In this sense, the pictorial poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure childish chant... But the most astonishing thing manifested in these paintings is a communicative tenderness for the states of mind of human beings."
— Dr. Friedhelm Häring, museum director and art historian
"His writing by gesture and color describes a world open to new voices and to experiments never tried. His canvases and works on paper demonstrate that painting remains a major expression of the contemporary scene."
— Laurent Puech, art historian and curator
EXPÉDITION :
Tracked shipping with in-person handover. The work will be carefully packaged with the utmost care in a rigid, custom-made packaging by the artist (protective board, bubble wrap, cardboard reinforcements, etc.) to ensure secure transport.
Seller's Story
Ralf Altrieth is a Franco-German painter regarded for his expressive and spontaneous universe, straddling 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 painter Georg Schaible and then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nürtingen at the end of the 1980s, his works today appear in numerous private collections around the world. Exhibited in many galleries and European art venues, he lives and works today in the south of France.
