AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Through acrylic, decals, and material transfers, Ralf Altrieth brings forth a world whose rules seem to belong to him alone.
Bold colors and layers of material give the surface great richness. Black lines structure the forms, while brushstrokes, marks, and transfers reveal different layers of paint. The work retains a very direct spontaneity, along with a genuine sense of rhythm and composition.
Between free figuration, instinctive drawing, and graphic poetry, the work does not seek to tell a specific story. Instead, it opens up a space where the imagination can roam freely.
With its energy, colors, and decidedly distinctive character, the work makes an immediate impression in any space. It first draws the viewer in with its expressiveness, then holds their gaze with the multitude of details that gradually come to light.

Acrylic with decals and material transfers on canvas
Heavyweight, professional-quality canvas
155 × 80 cm

Signed and dated on the back by the artist
Certificate of authenticity signed by Ralf Altrieth
REVIEWS AND PRESS:
"In this sense, Ralf Altrieth’s pictorial poems are a pure children’s song. From the crucible of improvisation, he brings forth an untouched world of spontaneous joys and powerful impulses."
— Dr. Friedhelm Häring, art historian and museum director
"Through gesture and color, his visual language describes a world open to new voices and untried experiences. His canvases and works on paper demonstrate that painting remains a major form of expression on the contemporary art scene."
— Laurent Puech, art historian and curator
MARGINS:
The dimensions given correspond to the work once mounted on a stretcher. The canvas has additional white margins to allow it to be easily stretched by your local framer.
SHIPPING:
The canvas is shipped rolled in a reinforced tube, specially designed to ensure maximum protection during transit. The work is entrusted to an express carrier that provides home delivery, full tracking, and delivery against signature, ensuring the best possible protection until it is handed directly to you.

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.
