AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Across acrylic, decalcomanies and transfers of matter, Ralf Altrieth conjures up a gallery of imaginary figures that seem to brush against each other, respond to one another, or simply evolve side by side, as in a world whose rules belong only to him.
The bold colors and the layers of material give the surface a great richness. The black lines structure the shapes, while the touches, traces and transfers reveal different strata of paint. The whole retains a very direct spontaneity, but also a true sense of rhythm and composition.
Between free figuration, instinctive drawing and graphic poetry, this work does not aim to tell a precise story. It opens up a space where the imagination can circulate freely.
Through its energy, its colors and its distinctly singular character, the work brings an immediate presence to the space. It first attracts with its expressiveness, then holds the eye with the multitude of details that reveal themselves gradually.
TECHNIQUE:
Acrylic with decalcomanies and transfers of matter on canvas
Thick canvas, professional quality
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, the pictorial poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure childish chant. From the crucible of improvisation he conjures a pristine world 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 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
MARGES:
The indicated dimensions correspond to the work once mounted on a 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 margin on each side). The 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 transport. The work is entrusted to an express carrier delivering to the home, with full tracking and signature on delivery, in order to guarantee the best protection of the work until handover.
Note: The display images are presentation suggestions produced with AI based on photos of the actual work. The photos of the real object are authoritative (close-ups, full work, photos of the back and profile). Tones 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.
