AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ralf Altrieth's painting first gives an impression of energy and spontaneity. Then the gaze lingers and gradually reveals a world more complex, traversed by moving forms, unforeseen encounters and surprising balances. Nothing is fixed. The work evolves continually with distance, light, and the time spent in front of it.
In this universe, the boundary between abstraction and figuration remains deliberately unstable. Possible silhouettes surface, depths are suggested, without ever settling. The gaze is engaged, set in motion. Seeing becomes an active, almost physical, experience.
But beyond their immediate energy, Ralf Altrieth’s works settle permanently in space. They do so through their density. Through their presence. And through that rare ability to transform the space in which they take place.

Mixed media on canvas
Professional-quality canvas
195 × 150 cm

CRITIQUE ET PRESSE:
"In this sense, the pictorial poems of Ralf Altrieth 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 by 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

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.
