Ralf Altrieth — Donne-moi ta main - XXL, acrylique sur toile, 140 × 155 cm, unique signed artwork, original edition, created in 2020 or later, from France.
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.

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
