Ralf Altrieth - Yeah yeah yeah - XXXL

Ralf Altrieth's painting first gives an impression of energy and spontaneity. Then the gaze lingers and begins to distinguish silhouettes, figures and fragments of landscape, which seem to overlap one another. Nothing imposes itself: the forms appear, cross and transform as the eye moves. The colors, drips, splashes and broad gestures of painting build a surface that is particularly vibrant. Lighter areas emerge, while black outlines punctuate the composition and give it a graphic structure. The boundary between landscape, figuration and abstraction remains deliberately fluid. One thinks they recognize a shape, then it seems to become something else. The eye thus circulates through the painting, moving from one apparition to another without ever exhausting the work entirely. Through its density, its energy and its monumental format, this painting has a presence that extends far beyond its surface. It immediately catches the eye, then gradually establishes a more mysterious, almost poetic atmosphere, which continues to act in the space where it occupies.

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 gestural and color writing describes a world open to new voices and to experiments 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 (180 to 220 cm depending on the work), specially designed to ensure maximum protection during transport.
