AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
At first glance, Ralf Altrieth's painting seems to spring forth in a free, instinctive momentum. Then the gaze lingers—and gradually reveals a world more complex, traversed by moving forms, unexpected encounters, and surprising equilibria. Nothing is fixed. The work constantly evolves with distance, light, and the time spent before it.
In this universe, the boundary between abstraction and figuration remains deliberately unstable. Possible silhouettes emerge, depths are suggested, never settling. The eye is invited, set in motion. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical, experience.
But beyond their immediate energy, Ralf Altrieth's works settle enduringly into space. They settle in through their density. Through their presence. And through this rare ability to transform the space in which they take place.
TECHNIQUE:
Spray, oilstick and greasy pastel on canvas, Sennelier HC10 fixative
Thick professional-quality canvas
185 × 195 cm
Unique work, hand-painted
Excellent condition
Signed and dated on the edge of the canvas by the artist
Certificate of authenticity signed by Ralf Altrieth
CRITIQUE AND PRESS:
"In this sense, Ralf Altrieth's pictorial poems are pure childish songs. From the crucible of improvisation, they bring forth a pristine world made of spontaneous joys and strong impulses."
— Dr. Friedhelm Häring, art historian and museum director
"His gestural writing and color describe a world open to new voices and to experiences never attempted. His canvases and works on paper demonstrate that painting remains a major expression on the contemporary scene."
— Laurent Puech, art historian and curator
PACKAGING:
The canvas is shipped rolled in a reinforced large-format tube (180 to 220 cm depending on the work), specially designed to ensure maximum protection during transport.
The indicated dimensions correspond to the work once mounted on a frame. The canvas includes extra white margins allowing easy tensioning by your framer.
SHIPPING:
Because of its exceptional dimensions, the work is entrusted to an express carrier offering home delivery with full tracking and signature on delivery, to guarantee the best protection of the artwork until it is handed over to you.

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.
