AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
At first glance, Ralf Altrieth’s painting seems to burst forth with a free, instinctive momentum. Then the gaze lingers—and gradually reveals a more complex world, teeming with singular presences, unexpected encounters, and silent dialogues. Nothing is fixed. The work continually evolves depending on distance, light, and the time spent before it.
In this universe, the boundary between abstraction and figuration remains deliberately unstable. Silhouettes appear, looks meet, stories seem to begin without ever settling. The gaze is solicited, set in motion. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical, experience.
But beyond their immediate energy, Ralf Altrieth’s works settle deeply into space. They settle in with their density. With their presence. And with this rare ability to transform the space in which they take place.

Acrylic on canvas

CRITIQUE ET PRESSE:
"In this sense, Ralf Altrieth’s pictorial poems are a pure childlike chant. From the crucible of improvisation, he conjures 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

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.
