AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Through acrylics, decals and transfers of matter, Ralf Altrieth brings to life a gallery of imaginary characters who seem to mingle, respond to each other, or simply evolve side by side, as in a world whose rules belong only to them.
The bold colors and layers of material give the surface great richness. The black lines structure the shapes while the touches, traces and transfers reveal different strata of paint. The whole maintains a very direct spontaneity, but also a real sense of rhythm and composition.
Between free figuration, instinctive drawing and graphic poetry, these works do not seek to tell a precise story. They rather open a space where imagination can circulate freely.
Through their energy, their colors and their decidedly singular character, the work brings an immediate presence to the space. It first attracts by its expressiveness, then holds the eye with the multitude of details that gradually reveal themselves.
TECHNIQUE:
Acrylic with decals and transfers of matter on canvas
Thick professional-grade canvas
160 × 80 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 childlike chant. From the crucible of improvisation he forges a pristine world of spontaneous joys and strong impulses."
— Dr Friedhelm Häring, art historian and museum director
"His gesture-writing and color describe a world open to new voices and experiments 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
MARGES:
The indicated dimensions refer to the work once mounted on its stretcher. The canvas includes additional white margins that will allow stapling the canvas to the sides of the frame (approximately 2.5 to 3 cm of margins on each side). Tensioning can easily be carried out by your local framer.
EXPÉDITION:
The canvas is shipped rolled in a reinforced tube specially designed to ensure maximum protection during transit. The work is entrusted to an express carrier offering home delivery, with full tracking and a signature on delivery, to guarantee the best protection of the work until handover in person.
Note: The presentation images are presentation suggestions created with AI based on photos of the actual work. Photos of the actual object are authentic (close-ups, full view, photos of the back and profile). Colors may vary slightly depending on your screen’s color profile.

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.
