AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Through acrylic, decals and transfers of matter, Ralf Altrieth conjures a gallery of imaginary figures that seem to mingle, respond to one another, or simply evolve side by side, as if in a world whose rules belong only to him.
The bold colors and layers of material give the surface great richness. The dark lines structure the forms 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 seek to tell a precise story. It opens 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 gradually reveal themselves.

Acrylic with decals and transfers of matter on canvas

CRITIQUE AND PRESS:
"In this sense, the pictorial poems of Ralf Altrieth are a pure infantile song. 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 writing and use of color describe 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
MARGINS:
The indicated dimensions refer to the work once mounted on a frame. The canvas includes white margins that will allow the canvas to be stapled to a frame. Tensioning can be easily carried out by your local framer.
SHIPPING:
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 providing home delivery, with full tracking and a signature on delivery, to guarantee the best protection of the artwork until handover.
Note: The situational presentation images are presentation suggestions created with AI based on photos of the actual work. The photos of the real object take precedence (close-ups, whole work, back photos). 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.
