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, crossed by moving shapes, unforeseen encounters and surprising balances. Nothing is fixed. The work evolves constantly depending on the distance, the light and the time spent before it.

In this universe, the boundary between abstraction and figuration remains deliberately unstable. Possible silhouettes surface, depths are suggested, never fixed. The gaze is invited, set in motion. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical experience.

But beyond their immediate energy, Ralf Altrieth's works settle durably in space. They settle by their density. By their presence. And by this rare capacity to transform the space in which they take place.

CRITIQUE ET PRESSE:
"In this sense, the pictorial poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure childish 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 writing through gesture and color 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

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.

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.
