AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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

The imaginary figures 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 exudes a particularly warm presence. It attracts with its colors and its immediately recognizable figures, then holds the gaze with its inventiveness and its small details. In a contemporary interior, they bring a free, playful and poetic artistic note, without ever losing the singular gesture of Ralf Altrieth.

TECHNIQUE:
Acrylic on canvas
Thick professional-quality canvas
140 × 155 cm
Unique work, hand-painted
Excellent condition
Signed and dated on the back by the artist
Certificate of authenticity signed by Ralf Altrieth

CRITIQUE AND PRESS:
"In this sense, Ralf Altrieth’s pictorial poems are a pure childish song. From the cauldron of improvisation, he conjures up an untouched world of 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 experiments never tried. His paintings 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 correspond to the work mounted on a stretchers. The canvas includes additional white margins that will allow easy tensioning 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 offering home delivery with full tracking and required signature upon delivery, to guarantee the best protection of the work until handover.

Note: The simulated presentation images are presentation suggestions created with AI based on photos of the real work. Photos of the actual object are definitive (close-ups, full work, photo of the back). 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.
