Ralf Altrieth - Beloved obstacle - XXL

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.

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 EMBALLAGE: The canvas is shipped rolled in a reinforced large-format tube, specially designed to ensure maximum protection during transport.
