AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ralf Altrieth's paintings first give an impression of energy and spontaneity. Then the gaze lingers and gradually discovers a more complex world, traversed by moving forms, unforeseen encounters and unexpected equilibria. Nothing is fixed. The work evolves ceaselessly depending on the distance, the light and the time spent before it.
In this universe, the boundary between abstraction and figuration remains intentionally unstable. Possible silhouettes surface, depths are suggested, never fixed. The gaze is solicited, set in motion. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical, experience.
But beyond their immediate energy, Ralf Altrieth's works settle durably in space. They settle through their density. Through their presence. And through this rare ability to transform the space in which they take place.

CRITIQUE ET PRESSE:
"In this sense, Ralf Altrieth's pictorial poems are a pure childish chant. From the crucible of improvisation he brings forth a world intact made of spontaneous joys and strong impulses."
— Dr Friedhelm Häring, art historian and museum director
"His writing through gesture and color 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
EMBALLAGE:
The canvas is shipped rolled in a reinforced large-format tube, specially designed to ensure maximum protection during transport.

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.
