AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
At first glance, Ralf Altrieth's painting seems to burst forth in a free and instinctive surge. Then the gaze lingers—and gradually discovers a more complex world, populated by singular presences, unexpected encounters and silent dialogues. Nothing is fixed. The work constantly evolves according to distance, the light, and the time spent before it.
In this universe, the boundary between abstraction and figuration remains deliberately unstable. Silhouettes appear, glances cross, stories seem to begin without ever settling. The gaze is engaged, set in motion. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical, experience.
But beyond their immediate energy, Ralf Altrieth's works settle permanently into space. They settle by their density. By their presence. And by this rare ability to transform the space in which they take place.

Acrylic with decoupage and transfer of matter on canvas
Thick professional-grade canvas
145 × 160 cm
Unique work, hand-painted
Excellent condition
Signed and dated on the back by the artist

CRITIQUE ET PRESSE:
"In this sense, the pictorial poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure infantile song. 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 gesture-and-color writing describes a world open to new voices and to experiences 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

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.
