AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Like an ancient legend whose words have been forgotten.
At first glance, Ralf Altrieth’s painting seems to burst forth in a free, instinctive surge. Then the gaze lingers—and gradually reveals a more complex world, traversed by moving forms, unexpected encounters, and delicate, unforeseen balances. Nothing is fixed. The work evolves constantly 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, without ever setting. The eye is engaged, set in motion. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical, experience.
But beyond their immediate energy, Altrieth’s works settle durably into space. They settle by their density. By their presence. And by this rare capacity to transform the space in which they take place.
TECHNIQUE:
Acrylic on canvas
Sturdy professional-grade canvas
155 × 140 cm
Unique work, hand-painted
Excellent condition
Signed and dated on the back by the artist
Certificate of authenticity signed by Ralf Altrieth
CRITIQUE ET PRESSE:
"In this sense, Ralf Altrieth’s pictorial poems are a pure childish chant. From the crucible of improvisation, he conjures a pristine world 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 experiences never attempted. His canvases and works on paper show that painting remains a major expression of the contemporary scene."
— Laurent Puech, art historian and curator
PACKAGING:
The canvas is shipped rolled in a reinforced large-format tube (160 to 220 cm depending on the work), specially designed to ensure maximum protection during transport.
The indicated dimensions correspond to the work mounted on a frame. The canvas includes additional white margins allowing easy tensioning by your local framer.
SHIPPING:
Due to its size, the work is entrusted to an express carrier ensuring home delivery, with full tracking and signed-for delivery, to guarantee the best protection of the work until handover.

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.
