Ralf Altrieth - Tout ce que tu veux - XXL

At first glance, this painting seems to tell a small world of its own: fantastical animals, flowers, stars and signs crowd together in a free, whimsical composition with an immediacy of expressiveness that is almost instantly endearing.

Ralf Altrieth draws and paints here with great spontaneity. The forms are deliberately simple, the outlines direct, the colors bold, as if the figures had been discovered rather than invented. Behind this apparent simplicity lies, however, a true sense of rhythm: the figures respond to each other, overlap, or seem to float around one another.

The moon, the stars, the flowers and the imaginary animals give the whole a poetic, almost dreamlike dimension. There is something joyful and slightly offbeat in the composition, which leaves the viewer with a great freedom of interpretation.

The work thus radiates a particularly warm presence. It attracts with its colors and instantly recognizable figures, then holds the gaze with its inventiveness and its small details. In a contemporary interior, it adds a note of free, playful, and poetic artistry, never losing the singular gesture of the artist 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 world intact with spontaneous joys and strong impulses."
— Dr. Friedhelm Häring, art historian and museum director

"His gesture- and color-driven 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
